BUENOS AIRES, April 19 (Reuters) - Boca Juniors' Carlos Palacios and Miguel Merentiel scored second-half goals to secure a 2-0 home win over Estudiantes on Saturday in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura tournament. Already assured of a last-16 spot, the hosts strengthened their grip on Group A's top spot as they moved to 32 points, five clear of second-placed Huracan. Estudiantes are sixth with 20 points.

Palacios opened the scoring three minutes into the second half, firing a first-time shot from a well-placed pass from Merentiel, who turned scorer himself to double the lead in the 63rd minute with a great long-range effort. Estudiantes had looked more threatening in the opening stages, but Boca goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin kept them at bay early on, denying Guido Carrillo an opener with a brilliant save. Edinson Cavani squandered a golden chance to hand Boca a halftime lead after his poorly taken penalty was saved by Estudiantes keeper Mansilla in the 40th minute.

Boca Juniors secure 2-1 win over lowly Aldosivi
BUENOS AIRES, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Boca Juniors secured a 2-1 home win over Aldosivi at the Bombonera stadium in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura tournament on Saturday, thanks to a stunning long-range effort from Luis Advincula and a late finish by Miguel Merentiel. In a sloppy first half, Boca went close through Marcos Rojo and Exequiel Zeballos, while Aldosivi wasted chances to break the deadlock. Boca responded to the home crowd's disgruntled chants after the break, when Advincula latched onto Milton Delgado's through ball and curled a shot into the top right-hand corner, leaving goalkeeper Williams Barlasina helpless. Substitute Tiago Serrago pulled a goal back for Aldosivi in the 63rd minute, but Merentiel's close-range finish, set up by Milton Gimenez, sealed victory for the hosts six minutes from time.
