BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Ignacio Russo’s double and a goal from Martin Ortega led Tigre to a 3-0 victory over Argentine champions Velez Sarsfield in the Primera Division on Thursday.
Russo struck early, converting Nahuel Banegas’ cross three minutes into the game, and added a second six minutes later after latching onto a rebound and slotting past goalkeeper Tomas Marchiori.
Ortega sealed the win shortly after the break, beating Marchiori and firing home at the far post.
The match marked the debut of Velez coach Sebastian Dominguez, who left Tigre to take over from Gustavo Quinteros this month.
