It might be a little early to suggest that Newell’s have turned a corner but after eight matches without a win, Lucas Bernardi’s side chalked up back-to-back wins with a 2-0 victory against Estudiantes. Lucas Boyé headed La Lepra in front after two minutes and just before half-time, the Rodríguez cousins combined to double the lead. Former Argentina international, Maxi helped the ball into the path of his young cousin, Denis and the 19-year-old smashed a volley past Hilario Navarro from 25 yards.
Arsenal also picked up consecutive victories with a 2-1 win against Temperley. Fernando Branden cancelled out Santiago Silva’s earlier opener but with ten minutes remaining, Ramiro López headed the visitors back in front.
