Miguel Borja: Colombian striker Miguel Borja struck two second-half goals as River Plate moved closer to securing a berth in Argentina's Primera Division quarterfinals with a 2-1 home win over Rosario Central.

Lautaro Giaccone put the visitors ahead in the 14th minute by rifling a long-range effort into the top-left corner after Franco Ibarra's assist, reports Xinhua.

The hosts drew level just after the hour through Borja, who latched onto Pablo Solari's cross to fire home from close range.
