2006–07 season of Argentine football was the 116th season of competitive football in Argentina.
Torneo Apertura ("Opening" Tournament)
"Championship" playoff
Boca Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata ended up tied in points at the end of the 19 weeks of regular season. Tournament rules establish that, unlike any other position on the table, if two or more teams are equal in points at the end of play, goal difference does not count and a playoff game is required. Estudiantes won that match and was crowned as champion.
