BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — Fabian Noguera scored with a late header as Estudiantes remained in touch with Argentina’s Primera Division leaders on Sunday with a 1-0 home win over struggling Boca Juniors.
Noguera broke the deadlock with a powerful header into the top left corner in the 76th minute after a Fernando Zuqui corner.
Despite controlling 65 percent of total possession, Boca mustered only one shot on goal compared to Estudiantes’ three attempts.
The result leaves Estudiantes with 12 points from six matches, two points behind leaders Independiente. Boca are wallowing near the foot of the table with just four points, having yet to register a victory this campaign.
In other Primera Division fixtures on Sunday, Platense won 2-1 at home to Arsenal Sarandi and Patronato clinched a 1-0 home win over Central Cordoba.
