The 23-year-old showed great poise in a tense contest to triumph by the thinnest of margins. She claimed all the three rounds on split points.
The 35-year-old Apetz was the first German woman to qualify for a boxing event at the Olympics and also a two-time world championship bronze-medallist and a former European champion.
Borgohain is a two-time World and Asian championships bronze-medallist. She will next face Chinese Taipei's Nien-Chin Chen, who is seeded fourth and a former world champion, on July 30. A win in that bout would assure Borgohain of at least a bronze medal at the mega-event.
India's men's doubles badminton players Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty failed to qualify for the Quarterfinals despite a win over Great Britain today. The Indian pair failed to qualify for Quarterfinals on the basis of number of sets won. Chinese Taipei, Indonesia and India have won two matches each in their group.
