Velez win rescheduled match to go top

The game was rescheduled at Boca Juniors' Bombonera stadium from March 20 when it was abandoned after six minutes because of crowd violence at Velez's Fortin.

Velez went two points clear of River Plate to lead the Clausura standings with 21 points from 10 matches.

In a game played in two halves of 42 minutes each, striker Santiago Silva put Velez in front 12 minutes from time with a shot across the face of goal into the bottom corner from midfielder Victor Zapata's perfect crossfield pass.
