Argentine title holders Boca Juniors went top of the Clausura championship on Sunday with a 2-0 win at San Lorenzo, which extended their unbeaten run to 36 matches.Young midfielder Juan Sanchez Mino, playing for rested captain Juan Roman Riquelme, opened the scoring in the 59th minute with a low shot from the edge of the box and substitute Pablo Mouche added the second three minutes from time.After four matches Boca, who have yet to concede a goal, have 10 points, two more than Velez Sarsfield, Estudiantes and All Boys.San Lorenzo remain mired in the bottom four of the parallel relegation standings which are calculated on teams average points over three seasons. They occupy a playoff berth, like fellow big club River Plate who lost it last June and were relegated.The Saints behaviour in added time hardly reflected their nickname as Gabriel Mendez was sent off for a two-footed lunge on fellow substitute Diego Rivero and Uruguayan striker Carlos Bueno for fighting with Boca defender Juan Insaurralde, who was also shown the red card by referee Sergio Pezotta.There was also fighting between fans in the stands which forced the game to be stopped for a few minutes midway through the second half until it calmed down.
