Buenos Aires, Argentina (My Sportsbook) - First-half goals by Pablo Barrientos and Gonzalo Bergessio helped San Lorenzo defeat Tigre 2-1 on Wednesday in the first match of a three-way playoff to decide Argentina's Apertura. San Lorenzo can clinch the title Saturday with a win over Boca Juniors in the second match of the playoff system, making Tuesday's game between Boca Juniors and Tigre unnecessary. San Lorenzo, Tigre and Boca Juniors all finished with 39 points in the regular season and there is no tiebreaker in the Apertura.
