BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Banfield secured their first win of the new season with a 3-0 home rout of Rosario Central in Argentina's Primera Division on Monday.

Sebastian Sosa gave the hosts the lead by heading home after Brahian Aleman's delivery from a set piece.

Juan Alvarez doubled the advantage with a low finish after combining with Emanuel Coronel.

Jesus Soraire, introduced as an 82nd-minute substitute for Juan Bisanz, scored with his first touch by firing into the top right corner after Emanuel Insua's pass.

The result at Estadio Florencio Sola in Buenos Aires lifts Banfield to sixth in the 14-team Group A standings while Rosario Central are 12th.
