BUENOS AIRES, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Brazil international midfielder Danilo scored a 93rd-minute winner as Brazil's Botafogo clinched a 3-2 away win over Argentine side Racing in the Copa Sudamericana group stage on Wednesday.

Botafogo forward Arthur Cabral cancelled out Santiago Sosa's early goal before Junior Santos gave the visitors the lead just before halftime.

Adrian Martinez restored parity with a 64th-minute strike but Botafogo wrested back the lead in stoppage time when Danilo combined with Kadir Barria before slotting the ball past Facundo Cambeses.

"It was a difficult game, but our team showed a lot of fight," Danilo said after the match. "Thankfully we were able to come away with the win and that I could help with a goal. We have to maintain this level to make sure we reach the knockout stage."

Botafogo now leads Group E with four points, ahead of second-placed Caracas FC by virtue of a superior goal tally. Racing is third, a point further back.

Elsewhere in the Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday, Sebastian Driussi's second-half strike gave River Plate a 1-0 home victory over Carabobo, Olimpia drew 0-0 at home to Barracas Central and Caracas FC prevailed 1-0 at home to Independiente Petrolero thanks to Wilfred Correa's 55th-minute goal. ■
