Lanus overwhelmed San Lorenzo 4-0 in the Argentine championship final to win their second league title.
The victory at the River Plate stadium was a deserved finish for Lanus, who were the best team in the competition.
Lanus, a modest club from the southern suburbs of the capital who won their first title in 2007, had reached the final as runaway winners of Group B, finishing six points clear of second-placed Estudiantes after winning 12 of their 16 matches.
San Lorenzo, chasing a 13th title, squeezed into the final by winning Group A by a point from Godoy Cruz last weekend.
Striker Oscar Benitez headed Lanus in front in the 18th minute and Paraguayan Miguel Almiron snuffed out San Lorenzo's bid to get back into the match with a fine solo goal for the second 13 minutes into the second half.
Jose Sand, the tournament's top scorer who was part of the 2007 title side, added the third and his 15th goal in the 64th, and midfielder Lautaro Acosta rounded off the win in the 88th.
Both finalists qualified for next year's South American Copa Libertadores.
Estudiantes, four times Libertadores winners, beat Godoy Cruz 1-0 on Saturday in a playoff for a third Argentine berth in next year's elite South American tournament.
Argentinos Juniors, who won the Copa Libertadores in 1985 and their third league title in 2010, were relegated.
