After a scoreless opening half, Jose Oscar Flores' Velez dismantled Independiente, piling on four unanswered goals to win 4-0 at the Estadio Libertadores de America on Saturday.
Lucas Pratto was the pick of the bunch with two goals, while Leonardo Rolon and Lucas Romero were also on target away from home.
Velez are the only remaining team to have won all three games following Racing Club's shock 4-0 loss to Tigre on Friday, and sit two points clear at the summit.
There was nothing to separate Independiente and Velez at half-time, paving the way for Pratto take centre stage in the second half.
Fabian Cubero picked out Pratto, who showed tremendous skill to bring the ball under control before firing past Independiente goalkeeper Diego Rodriguez in the 47th minute.
Pratto, who was subject of interest from River Plate last month, doubled the visitors' lead in the 73rd minute following a superb run that started inside his own half.
Rolon's spectacular goal from a corner and Romero's solo effort capped off a comprehensive display in the final nine minutes.

Carlos Sanchez and Teofilo Gutierrez set the tone at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas with goals in the second and fourth minutes, before Rodrigo Mora made it three on the quarter-hour mark.
