Buenos Aires, Sep 14 River Plate scored twice in each half to romp to a 4-1 home victory over Atletico Tucuman in Argentina's Primera Division.

The visitors opened the scoring through Franco Albanell but River took a 2-1 lead into the interval after goals from Leandro Gonzalez and Miguel Borja.

Maximiliano Meza and Facundo Colidio extended the advantage in the last 20 minutes as River ended a run of five league matches without a victory, reported Xinhua.

Marcelo Gallardo's men are now eighth in the 28-team Primera Division standings with 21 points, six points behind leaders Velez Sarsfield, while Atletico Tucuman remained second two points shy of Velez.
