BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Matias Gimenez struck in the second half as Argentinos Juniors edged to a 1-0 win at Banfield in Argentina's Clausura tournament on Saturday.
The visitors went ahead just after the hour when Gimenez combined with Gaston Veron before firing a shot into the top-left corner.
Banfield had less than a third of the possession and managed just one shot on target for the night.
The result leaves Argentinos Juniors second in Zone B with 25 points from 13 games while Banfield is 12th in the 15-team group with 13 points.
