STORY: Newell's Old Boys secured a 2-0 home win over Boca Juniors in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura tournament on Sunday (March 30), with goalkeeper Keylor Navas stopping a penalty from former Paris Saint-Germain teammate Edinson Cavani.

Luciano Herrera opened the scoring after five minutes, latching on to Carlos Gonzalez's precise header. The hosts doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time when Luciano Lollo headed home Ever Banega's cross.

In the second half, Boca's hopes were shattered when Navas saved a dramatic penalty from captain Cavani before also saving the rebound on a rainy night at the Marcelo Bielsa stadium.

Boca dropped to second in Group A standings with 23 points, while Newell's are 11th.
