Football News : Argentina: Boca soar two points clear at top

Boca Juniors took advantage of a slip by Newell's Old Boys to open up a
two-point lead at the top of Argentina's Clausura.

Santiago Silva got the only goal in the 36th minute as Boca Juniors saw off Colon Santa
Fe, with Moreno y Fabianesi's late dismissal capping a bad day for the
visitors.

Newell's Old Boys needed a last minute goal from Martin Tonso to earn a 1-1
home draw against All Boys, who had led through Mauro Matos' fifth minute
effort.

The visitors had Juan Rodriguez dismissed 11 minutes into the second half,
although the numbers were evened up five minutes from time when substitute
Guillermo Ortiz also saw red.

Independiente climbed into the top half with a 2-0 win over Banfield.

However, the home side left it late before seeing off their second from bottom
opponents, with Osmar Ferreyra and Ernesto Farias netting in the last 19
minutes.
