BUENOS AIRES: Boca Juniors recovered from a two-goal deficit to secure a 4-2 away win over Central Cordoba in Argentina's Primera Division on Sunday.

Rodrigo Atencio and Mateo Sanabria gave the hosts a 2-0 lead before Ezequiel Fernandez and Miguel Merentiel netted twice each after the interval at Estadio Unico.

The result leaves the Buenos Aires giants 10th in the 28-team top flight standings with three points from their first two games while Central Cordoba are last, having yet to pick up a point, reports Xinhua.

"At halftime we talked about the need to be calmer on the ball and take greater care with our final pass, " Boca manager Diego Martinez said after the match.

"When we adjusted, we looked more composed and subsequently managed to be a lot more dangerous going forward. In the end, I think it was a fair result."

In other Argentine Primera Division fixtures on Sunday, Sarmiento drew 1-1 at Barracas Central, Independiente drew 0-0 at Platense, Talleres Cordoba eased to a 2-0 home win over Atletico Tucuman and Banfield were held to a 1-1 home draw by Huracan.
