Cetre leads Estudiantes to comeback win in Argentina's Primera Division
Buenos Aires, July 22 (UNI) Edwuin Cetre and Alexis Castro scored second-half goals as Estudiantes recovered from a goal down to beat Huracan 2-1 in Argentina's Primera Division Clausura tournament. Fabio Pereyra gave his side the lead by heading in from Matko Miljevic's corner but Cetre equalized with a spectacular overhead volley after Guido Carrillo's headed pass. Cetre then turned provider with a driving run and cross for Castro, who sent a bullet header into the top-right corner on Monday. The result leaves Estudiantes eighth in the 15-team Group A standings with three points from two games while Huracan is last, having failed to pick up a point from its first two matches. "Edwuin Cetre continues to be influential in attack and we're fortunate to have top-level players like him to unlock matches," Estudiantes manager Eduardo Dominguez said. "The fans had a right to be angry in the first half. They got behind us in the second and you could see the way their support had a positive impact on the team. I made it clear to the players in the locker room after the match that we need to be more consistent so that the fans are always behind us." In other fixtures on Monday, San Martin won 3-2 at home to Deportivo Riestra, and Defensa y Justicia eased to a 2-0 home win over Aldosivi. UNI/XINHUA BM
