Juan Roman Riquelme scored his first goal since re-joining Boca Juniors this week, helping his side to a 3-0 win over Toluca in the Libertadores Cup. Boca's win in Buenos Aires took the five-times champions back to the top of Group Seven as they avenged last week's 2-0 defeat by their Mexican opponents. Boca have seven points from four games.

Riquelme set up the first goal in the 16th minute when he floated over a free-kick which was headed in by defender Jonatan Maidana.

Riquelme, who returned for a second stint at Boca on loan from Villarreal after falling out of favour at the Spanish club, tapped in the second eight minutes later after Martin Palermo pulled the ball back.
