BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Santiago Solari scored one goal and set up another as Racing Club ended a five-game winless run with a 2-0 home victory over San Lorenzo in Argentina's Primera Division on Friday.
Nazareno Colombo gave the hosts the lead with first-time effort from the edge of the six-yard box after Solari's headed flick.
Solari doubled the advantage on the counterattack by darting past onrushing goalkeeper Orlando Gill and slotting the ball into an unguarded net.
It was Racing's first league win since a 1-0 away victory over Belgrano on July 20.
"We had to get our confidence back," Racing manager Gustavo Costas told reporters. "We'd lost a bit of our purpose and hunger. Today we recovered our spirit. What I liked most was the attitude and the personality the team showed."
The result leaves Racing 14th in the 15-team Group A standings with seven points so far. San Lorenzo is fifth in Group B with 12 points.
In other Primera Division fixtures on Friday, Newell's Old Boys won 2-0 at home to Atletico Tucuman, Lanus clinched a 1-0 home victory over Independiente Rivadavia, Velez Sarsfield drew 0-0 at Huracan and Deportivo Riestra prevailed 2-0 at home to Central Cordoba. ■
