Pratto’s late strike makes Velez late comers to title race

Velez Sarsfield returned to winning ways with a hard fought 2-1 win against relegation threatened, Godoy Cruz last night in Liniers. Despite going behind early to former Velez striker, Mauro Obolo’s headed opener, Velez just about deserved the win. Second half goals from Agustin Allione and a late 25-yard strike from Lucas Pratto gave Velez the victory. The result leaves them just 3 points behind leaders Newell’s, joining the remarkably tight group of title chasers and Godoy Cruz still in the drop zone. WATCH THE GOALS….
