Argentina Wrap: Gimnasia win three on the spin

Federico Rasic's second-half brace secured the three points for Gimnasia after Belgrano took an early lead through Jorge Valazquez.

The home fans were delighted when Valazquez gave Belgrano an unexpected advantage after only six minutes.

Gimnasia failed to reply until after half-time when Rasic struck four minutes after the restart from Fernando Pereyra's assist.

Argentinos defeated Tigre 1-0 in front of their home fans thanks to Daniel Villalva's 77th-minute strike.

It was the fourth loss in a row for Racing, who had no answer to Rolle's 63rd and 88th minute goals.

Fernando Telechea and Luciano Abecasis put Quilmes into the lead on separate occasions but the efforts were cancelled out by San Lorenzo's Gonzalo Veron and Martin Cauteruccio.

In other results, Guido Carrillo's double was crucial in Estudiantes' 2-0 win over Boca Juniors, Colon travelled to River Plate and emerged 2-1 victors, while Olimpia and All Boys fought out a 1-1 draw.

Rosario Central left it late as they triumphed 1-0 against Godoy Cruz, David Trezeguet scored as Newell's Old Boys won 2-0 at Atletico Rafaela and there was a goalless result between Velez Sarsfield and Lanus.
