BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- Estudiantes recovered from a goal down to secure a gripping 5-4 away victory over Racing in Argentina's Primera Division clash on Wednesday.

Sebastian Boselli gave the visitors an early lead, but Maximiliano Salas and Santiago Solari struck in quick succession to hand Racing the advantage at halftime.

Nazareno Colombo, Tiago Palacios and Guido Carrillo scored early in the second half to fire Estudiantes to a 4-2 lead.

But Racing did not surrender, and they were back on level terms after a quickfire double from substitute Luciano Vietto.

The game took another turn when Edwuin Cetre restored Estudiantes by firing a composed finish into the far corner five minutes from time.

The result left Estudiantes 12th in the 28-team standings and all but ended Racing's title hopes. The Buenos Aires outfit is now five points behind leaders Velez Sarsfield with two match days remaining.

In Wednesday's only other Primera Division match, River Plate was held to a 1-1 home draw by San Lorenzo. Enditem
