Velez win, River Plate draw in Argentina

Velez Sarsfield are back in second place in the Argentinian Primera Division following a 2-0 win over Huracan, while River Plate drew 2-2 with Gimnasia La Plata.

The 20-year-old Jonathan Cristaldo was the man to watch in the match between Velez and Huracan. The forward scored both of the goals at Jose Amalfitani stadium, the first in minute 8 and the second with 15 minutes to go.

As result, Velez jump back to second place at two points from leaders Estudiantes, who beat Boca Juniors on Saturday.

River Plate were close to victory against Gimnasia La Plata at the Estadio Monumental of Buenos Aires, but were eventually held to a 2-2 draw.

Daniel Villalba put River in the lead after 42 minutes, and Diego Buonanotte doubled the gap seven minutes after the break.

Alvaro Ormeño pulled one back for the guests in minute 73, and disaster struck for River when substitute Juan Cuevas equalized with three minutes left in regular time.
