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.

The defeat leaves River mired in a slump, having lost six of their last seven league matches as they sit sixth in Group B of the Clausura competition with 21 points, 10 adrift of leaders Rosario Central.

Kane nets late equaliser but Bayern's winning run ends with Union draw

Harry Kane headed in a stoppage-time equaliser to avoid Bayern Munich's first defeat of the season but their 2-2 draw at Union Berlin ended their record winning start across all competitions, Reuters reported.

Union thought they had won it with Danilho Goekhi's second goal in the 83rd minute but Kane headed in the leveller. Bayern top the Bundesliga on 28 points, six ahead of RB Leipzig.

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.
