Lowly Argentinos Juniors gave themselves a welcome confidence booster with a 3-1 win over Velez Sarsfield on Saturday.
Santiago Salcedo opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time and an own goal from Sebastian Dominquez then put the home side in total command.
Guillermo Franco gave Sarsfield hope but, Marcelo Barovero was sent off and Salcedo added a penalty to douse their enthusiasm.
Fernando Tobio was then sent off in the last minute, ensuring Velez ended with nine men.
