BUENOS AIRES :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.
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 equaliser but were not clinical enough in front of goal, with Franco Mastantuono hitting the woodwork late on and Talleres keeper Guido Herrera pulling off some key saves.
However, Borja equalised three minutes from time with a towering header from Gonzalo Montiel’s cross.
River sit fourth on 22 points after four straight draws in Group B while Talleres are ninth on 13 points.
