RIO DE JANEIRO, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Gustavo Henrique scored one goal and set up another as Brazil's Corinthians secured a 2-0 home win over Colombian side Santa Fe in the Copa Libertadores Group Stage on Wednesday.

The hosts went ahead just after halftime in Sao Paulo when Raniele tapped in from close range after Henrique's headed pass.

Henrique extended the lead 10 minutes from time, meeting Rodrigo Garro's floating free kick with an acrobatic volley that looped into the far corner.

"In the first half they defended very well but we didn't let that affect our game plan," Henrique said after the match.

"We have to stay grounded. We are still getting used to the way the manager [Fernando Diniz] wants us to play and hopefully keep improving."

The result leaves Corinthians top of Group E with six points from two outings, five clear of third-placed Santa Fe.

In other Copa Libertadores fixtures on Wednesday, Independiente Rivadavia won 2-1 at Fluminense, Universidad Catolica edged to a 2-1 away victory over Cruzeiro and Rosario Central prevailed 1-0 at Libertad. ■
