BUENOS AIRES, March 7 (Xinhua) -- Boca Juniors continued its resurgent form in Argentina's Primera Division Apertura tournament with a 3-0 away win over Central Cordoba on Friday.
Milton Gimenez put the visitors ahead with a 16th-minute strike before Jose Florentin inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.
