Monday evening’s matches in the 2011 Torneo Clausura ended with Lanús fifth in the table, and Boca Juniors and Independiente getting a 1-1 draw in La Bombonera that won’t really satisfy either team. Martín Palermo scored for Boca and youngster Lucas Villafáñez equalised for Independiente in the clásico. In Santa Fe, Leandro Díaz scored the only goal as Lanús beat Colón 1-0, and in the other match Olimpo and Tigre drew 2-2 in Bahía Blanca.
