BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) — Colombia international midfielder Edwin Cardona scored one goal and set up another as Boca Juniors won 3-0 at Aldosivi in Argentina’s Primera Division on Monday.

Ezequiel Almendra struck a 16th-minute opener, heading home from close range after his own 17-yard drive rebounded off the crossbar.

Cardona doubled the lead in the 71st minute with a cool first-time finish after Sebastian Villa’s shot was parried away by goalkeeper Jose Devecchi.

Boca completed the rout in the first minute of stoppage time when Cardona’s superb 25-yard through ball released Villa, who rounded the goalkeeper and tapped in from point-blank range.

The result leaves Boca sixth in the 26-team standings with 33 points from 20 matches, 13 points behind leaders River Plate. Aldosivi are 22nd with 21 points.
