BUENOS AIRES, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Boca Juniors missed the chance to move into the Argentine Primera Division's top two when they were held to a goalless home draw by leaders Defensa y Justicia on Monday.
The hosts controlled 60 percent of possession but had only four shots on target, while Defensa y Justicia managed eight.
The result at La Bombonera leaves Boca seventh in the 28-team standings with 11 points from six matches, two points behind Defensa y Justicia.
Earlier, Godoy Cruz ended a three-game losing run with a 2-0 home win over Racing Club. Tomas Conechny put the hosts ahead in the opening minute and Salomon Rodriguez doubled the advantage just before the hour mark.
Elsewhere, Pablo Vegetti converted a 39th-minute penalty as Belgrano won 1-0 at Arsenal Sarandi.
