All Boys vs Newell's Old Boys Match Report
Argentine Clausura champions Velez Sarsfield are seriously in title contention after leaping into second-place, behind Boca, after edging Estudiantes de La Plata 1-0 at the Jose Amalfitani stadium on Tuesday.
Velez held onto their 6th minute goal from David Ramirez to claim three crucial points that keep them in the running two win their second successive league championship. With 20 points from twelve matches, Velez find themselves within 5 points from Boca, however.
Despite a slow start to their campaign, which seemed much to do with the transfers of key players Santiago Silva, Maximiliano Moralez and Ricky Alvarez, all to Italy's Serie A, Velez have been in fine form not only in the league but also in the Copa Sudamericana, having advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition last week.
