BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Elias Cabrera scored in the second half as Tigre rose to third in Argentina's Primera Division Group A standings with a 1-0 away win over Central Cordoba on Friday.
Cabrera broke the deadlock on the hour when his long-range effort took a deflection, leaving goalkeeper Alan Aguerre stranded as the ball flew into the back of the net.
The hosts had almost two-thirds of possession but could only manage two shots on goal for the night.
The result leaves Tigre with 15 points, two behind group leaders Union Santa Fe. Central Cordoba is sixth, a point further back.
Elsewhere in the Primera Division on Friday, a stoppage-time goal from Maximiliano Rodriguez earned Platense a 2-2 home draw with San Martin.
The visitors went ahead through Tomas Fernandez, whose 67th-minute strike came after Platense's Ronaldo Martinez had canceled out Diego Gonzalez's opener.
But Rodriguez secured his team a point, finishing a swift counterattack by latching onto Martinez's cross with a header at the far post.
Platense is now ninth in Group B with 10 points, ahead of San Martin by virtue of having scored more goals.
In the night's only other fixture, Banfield was held to a goalless home draw by Union Santa Fe. ■
