STORY: Miguel Borja struck late to earn River Plate a 1-1 draw with Talleres at the Estadio Monumental in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura tournament on Sunday (April 13).

River were held to a fourth consecutive draw, missing the chance to secure a spot in the round of 16, as they sit fourth in Group B with 22 points. Talleres are ninth on 13 points.

Group A leaders Boca Juniors secured qualification to the next round with a 3-1 win at Belgrano on Saturday. The top eight teams from each of the two groups progress to the round of 16.

River dominated possession early on but were unable to break the deadlock, as Talleres goalkeeper Guido Herrera denied Facundo Colidio in a one-on-one on the half-hour mark.

Second-half substitute Valentin Depietri made an immediate impact for Talleres, capping a superb solo run with a low finish past River goalkeeper Franco Armani in the 50th minute.

The hosts pushed for an equalizer but were not clinical enough in front of goal, with Franco Mastantuono hitting the woodwork late on and Talleres keeper Herrera pulling off some key saves.

However, Borja equalized three minutes from time with a towering header from Gonzalo Montiel's cross.
