Football News : Argentina: Racing Club, Lanus record victories

Racing Club cut the gap to Apertura leaders Boca Juniors to eight points as
they edged out fifth-placed Atletico Rafaela 1-0.

Teofilo Gutierrez got the only goal from the penalty spot five minutes into the
second half to keep Racing three points above Lanus, who also enjoyed a victory,
winning 1-0 away to Union Santa Fe.

Matias Fritzler got the goal after 15 minutes, and any hopes Union had of
finding an equaliser were dealt a major blow when Jeronimo Barrales was sent off
for a second bookable offence two minutes into the second half.

All Boys beat Argentinos Juniors 1-0 to leapfrog them in the table and move
away from the danger zone. Martin Zapata struck in the 13th minute and the visitors then had Nicolas
Berardo sent off for a second booking 20 minutes from time.

Olimpo and Estudiantes shared the points from a 0-0 draw.
