BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- Ezequiel Ham scored in the 99th minute as Independiente Rivadavia clinched a dramatic 2-1 home victory over River Plate in Argentina's Primera Division on Thursday.
Colombian winger Sebastian Villa put the hosts ahead by running onto Diego Tonetto's through ball and angling a low shot into the far corner.
The visitors equalized through Facundo Colidio, who converted from the penalty spot after a Sheyko Studer handball.
Villa then turned provider as his cut-back from left side of the box allowed Ham to smash home a first-time finish from eight yards.
The result ended a three-game winless run for Independiente Rivadavia and leaves the side 21st in the 28-team standings with 28 points from 23 games.
River Plate is fifth with 36 points, eight points behind leaders Velez Sarsfield with four match days remaining.
