The 2005-06 Argentine First Division Clausura saw Boca Juniors become the first team since River Plate in 1999/2000 to win the Apertura and the Clausura in the same season. This capped an amazing year for Boca, as they won every tournament they were eligible (they weren't eligible for the Copa Libertadores after a dismal Clausura last season). Lanús were the big surprise of the Clausura, as they finished 2nd in the league. Boca also achieved 80 points in a season for the first time since 1998/99 when they scored 89 points. Argentina drew one of the most difficult groups in the 2006 FIFA World Cup , advanced to the second round but lost against hosts Germany in the Quarter-Finals. After an abysmal season, Instituto and Tiro Federal were relegated to the Nacional B Division a few weeks before the end of the tournament. The next two worst teams in the relegation standings, Argentinos Juniors and Olimpo De Bahía Blanca , played a ''Promoción'' playoff (home and away) series against Huracán and Belgrano De Córdoba , respectively, for two spots in next year's Argentine First Division . Argentinos Juniors remains in the top category after drawing with Huracán twice. Olimpo, however, were relegated to Nacional B after losing twice to Belgrano.
