BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Colombian striker Miguel Borja scored twice as River Plate cruised to a 3-0 home win over Independiente on Wednesday to supplant their rivals at the top of Argentina's Primera Division Group A standings.

Borja netted either side of halftime before Pablo Solari added a third goal in the 84th minute at Estadio Monumental.

The result leaves River Plate with 20 points from 10 games, two points clear of second-placed Independiente.
