Estudiantes extend Boca Juniors’ losing streak

Buenos Aires:  Former Argentina international striker Mauro Boselli struck late as Estudiantes clinched a 1-0 away victory over Boca Juniors in Argentina’s Primera Division.

Boca have lost three consecutive league matches and the Buenos Aires giants are now wallowing in 18th place while Estudiantes are ninth in the 28-team standings.
