Borja, Mastantuono on target in River Plate's 2-0 win over San Martin
SAN JUAN, Argentina, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Miguel Borja and Franco Mastantuono broke through a sturdy San Martin defence in the second half to secure a 2-0 win for River Plate in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura tournament on Saturday.
A through ball from Pity Martinez found Colombian forward Borja in the box in the 56th minute. Borja shook off defender Alejandro Molina and an onrushing keeper Matias Borgogno with an athletic first touch to break the deadlock after a frustrating first half.
The visitors doubled their lead 13 minutes later when Mastantuono found the bottom of the left corner off Gonzalo Montiel's pass, condemning a winless San Martin to their third straight loss in the competition.
Unbeaten River Plate, who host Estudiantes next Saturday, moved to third in Group B with 15 points, a point above fourth-placed San Lorenzo who have a game in hand.

U.S. Open underway as Oakmont awaits tournament favourite Scheffler
OAKMONT, Pennsylvania, June 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Open began under partly cloudy skies on Thursday at challenging Oakmont Country Club where Bryson DeChambeau hopes to make a fast start to his title defence while tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler was hours from teeing off. Amateur Matt Vogt, a former Oakmont caddie and current full-time dentist who qualified for the U.S. Open last week, had the honour of hitting the tournament's opening tee shot from the par-four first hole. Two-times U.S. Open winner DeChambeau, who went close at the year's first two majors, will set out at Oakmont in the company of British Open champion Xander Schauffele and Spain's Jose Luis Ballester at 7:29 a.m. ET (1129 GMT). World number one Scheffler, who counts the PGA Championship among his three wins in his last four starts, will head out in the company of two-times major winner Collin Morikawa and world number 14 Viktor Hovland at 1:25 p.m. ET. Oakmont, a quintessential U.S. Open venue where punishing ankle-high rough frames narrow fairways that lead to slick greens, is expected to be a brutal test of skill, mental toughness and resilience this week. Rory McIlroy, who has struggled off the tee since completing the career Grand Slam of golf's four majors with his Masters win in April, is scheduled to start from the 10th tee at 7:40 a.m. ET in the company of Shane Lowry and Justin Rose. Notable players going out in the afternoon when temperatures at Oakmont are expected to reach 87 degrees Fahrenheit (30.6 degrees Celsius) are Dustin Johnson, who won the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.

Liverpool star believes Florian Wirtz arrival will force him out of Anfield
Liverpool have been busy in the summer transfer window and are desperate to bring Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz to Anfield next despite the club demanding £126m - and Luis Diaz believes the German's arrival will spell his end Liverpool star Luis Diaz is "convinced" Florian Wirtz's arrival at Anfield will spell the end for him, with the Colombian forward "determined" to join Barcelona this summer. Diaz joined Liverpool from FC Porto for around £37million in 2022 and he has largely been a success on Merseyside. He's netted 41 times in 148 appearances and arguably had the best campaign of his career last season by scoring 17 goals in all competitions as Liverpool won the Premier League. But the 28-year-old is about to enter the final two years of his contract with the Reds and there have been fears he could leave in the near future, with Barcelona strongly linked with bringing him to the Nou Camp. It comes as Liverpool continue negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen over playmaker Wirtz, with the German side wanting £126m for their star player. The Reds have already had a number of bids turned down - including one totalling £114m - but are hopeful of wrapping up a deal soon for a talent they believe could transform the club and be part of their midfield for years to come. And according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Diaz believes Wirtz's signing will lead to his own exit. It goes on to say that Diaz is "only thinking about playing for Barcelona next season" and wants to capitalise on the La Liga side's interest. Diaz also "does not feel appreciated by Liverpool" and believes he might not have many chances to seal a transfer to a team he supported as a child. Liverpool boss Arne Slot will be keen to keep Diaz and play him alongside Wirtz after starting the Colombian 28 times in the Premier League last season. The Premier League champions have already made two signings after snapping up Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen for around £30m, while keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has joined from Valencia for £25m. Trent Alexander-Arnold has left for Real Madrid, meanwhile, while Caoimhin Kelleher has left for Brentford in a £12m deal - and now Liverpool chiefs will be keen to ramp things up in their pursuit of Wirtz. Liverpool remain confident of getting the deal over the line but they might have to break the bank to seal Wirtz's signature. It could lead to financial complexities and potentially even swap deals, with Leverkusen reportedly keen on the likes of Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah.
