Boca Juniors earned a deserved 2-0 home league victory over River Plate in Sunday's Argentine Superclasico, extending their bitter rivals' dismal run with goals from Exequiel Zeballos and Miguel Merentiel, Reuters reported.

Bayern, who had made it 16 victories from 16 games with 2-1 win at Champions League holders Paris St Germain 2-1 on Tuesday, looked to have run out of steam against the hard-working Berliners, according to Reuters.
