Boca Juniors defeats San Lorenzo to be leader
3/11/2008 9:53

Argentine soccer club Boca Juniors defeated San Lorenzo 1-0 yesterday to become the leader of the Argentine Opening tournament.

Playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme blasted a free kick through a forest of legs to score at the 7th minute.

Riquelme was then booked for a tribute to the late club president Pedro Pompilio, who died of a heart attack on Thursday at the age of 55.

In celebrating the goal, Riquelme lifted up his shirt to show a tee-shirt bearing a message which read: "Thanks for everything Pedro."
