It ain't over till it's over, don't count your chickens or that lady finally singing. Take your pick, but there's a reason there are sayings about waiting until a match is actually over

Rosario Central fans learned it the hard way Saturday, Nov. 7.

The club beat Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, 2-0, to earn three points in its final regular season match, taking its total in the 'annual table' combining both short seasons to 62 points. That, players and fans felt, would be enough to win the trophy instituted this year, with Boca Juniors heading into stoppage time tied at 0-0 with Defensa y Justicia.

Rosario Central players huddled around a cell phone streaming the Boca match, knowing Boca was the only team that still could catch them in the year's table. With the emotions starting to pour over, fans ran onto the field to start celebrating with their players.

But those who still were watching the stream would've seen Enner Valencia find a 96th-minute goal that took Boca to a 1-0 win over Defensa y Justicia and to 63 points in the combined table, one more than Rosario Central.

Valencia's goal and the victory saw Boca awarded the newly minted trophy, with captain Leandro Paredes accepting the hardware that Rosario thought it would be lifting.

"I don’t have words any more to describe what I’m experiencing, what I’m feeling," Paredes said. "I had to believe. I knew we’d attack for as long as the game kept going until the last second. It wasn’t luck but consistency, work, we deserved this and we’ve done it. We’re happy."

Both teams qualified for the playoffs, which will begin after the international window. Boca also qualified for the final of the Copa Sudamericana, facing Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro on Nov. 21.
