Argentine big guns Independiente relegated for first time

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Record seven times South American champions Independiente became the second major Argentine team in two years to be relegated for the first time on Saturday.

The Red Devils, who could not afford to drop another point if they were to avoid the same fate as River Plate in 2011, lost 1-0 at home to San Lorenzo and were relegated with one match remaining in the "Final" championship.
