RIO DE JANEIRO - Midfielder Maycon scored in each half as Corinthians secured a 2-0 home win over Argentine giants Boca Juniors in their Copa Libertadores group match on Tuesday.

The result leaves the Brazilian club top of Group E with six points from three matches while Boca are fourth, three points further back.

Earlier, Agustin Rogel and Mauro Boselli scored within five second-half minutes as Argentina's Estudiantes eased to a 2-0 home victory over Brazilian side Bragantino.

In other Copa Libertadores group matches on Tuesday, Nacional won 2-1 at Velez Sarsfield, Deportivo Tachira clinched a 2-1 victory at Independiente Petrolero, hosts Libertad beat Athletico Paranaense 1-0 and Talleres Cordoba defeated Sporting Cristal 1-0 in Argentina.
