Wins for Racing, Godoy Cruz

20 August 2012-PA Sport

Racing Club and Godoy Cruz joined Colon Santa Fe at the top of Argentina's Apertura with 2-0 home victories.

Racing Club beat Independiente with a goal in each half from Jose Sand, while a bad day for the visitor was compounded by the 45th-minute dismissal of Morel Rodriguez.

First-half goals from Mauro Obolo and Emanuel Insua gave Godoy Cruz victory over Atletico Rafaela.

River Plate also picked up its second win in three games with a 3-2 victory at Tigre.

The visitor led 2-1 at half-time with goals from Daniel Villalba and Carlos Sanchez, either side of Lucas Orban's breakthrough.

Manuel Lanzini made it 3-1 soon after the restart - but a goal on the hour from substitute Diego Ftacla made for an exciting conclusion to the contest.

In the day's other game, Lanus picked up its first points of the season with a 2-0 victory which ended Velez Sarsfield's unbeaten start. The goals came in the second half from substitute Mauricio Pereyra and Victor Ayala.
