In 1962, the team from the working-class La Boca took first place in the table with two points ahead of eternal rivals River Plate. After they had only finished third in the following season when they won the title of Independiente Avellaneda , they again triumphed in the Primera División in 1964 with eight points ahead of Independiente. The following season, the Boca Juniors were able to defend their title and thus secured the championship in 1965 with one point ahead of River Plate.
