BUENOS AIRES, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Boca Juniors extended its lead at the top of Argentina's Primera Division Group A standings on Saturday with a 3-1 away win over Belgrano.

Former Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo gave his side the lead in the 38th minute with a first-time effort from 12 yards before Lucas Menossi equalized with a close-range header.

The visitor regained the lead through Kevin Zenon's powerful finish on the counterattack and Carlos Palacios put the result beyond doubt with a low left-footed volley 14 minutes from time.

The result left Boca at top of the 15-team Group A with 29 points from 13 games, three points clear of second-placed Argentinos Juniors. Belgrano is 12th, 15 points further back.

Elsewhere in Argentina's top-flight on Saturday, Barracas Central edged to a 1-0 home victory over Tigre and San Lorenzo prevailed 1-0 at home to Atletico Tucuman.
