Buenos Aires, Feb. 21 -- Alexis Castro scored in the second half as Group A leader Estudiantes continued its impressive start to Argentina's Apertura season with a 1-0 home win over Sarmiento.

Castro put his side ahead just after halftime with an acrobatic first-time shot. The visitors couldonly manage two shots on target despite controlling almost 60 per cent of possession.

The result leaves Estudiantes with 12 points from six games, a point clear of second-placed Velez Sarsfield.
