It took substitute Alisson’s goal in the third minute of stoppage time to prevent holders Gremio from crashing out. Having so dramatically forced a penalty shoot-out in their tie against Estudiantes de la Plata, the Brazilians then triumphed from the spot to seal their place in the quarter-finals.


  • Surprise package keep fairy-tale run going

Argentinian minnows Atletico Tucuman held off two-time champions Atletico Nacional in Medellin to reach the last eight in their maiden campaign. They are the only team still in contention who have not previously lifted the trophy.


  • Milestones for Colo-Colo

After nine failed attempts, Colo-Colo finally overcame Brazilian opposition in a continental knockout tie. Moreover, by edging past Corinthians, El Cacique ended a 21-year wait to return to the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals.

Seven-time winners Independiente, the most decorated club in the tournament’s history, also put paid to a long spell in the wilderness, reaching the last eight for the first time since 1990. That year, they were knocked out by River Plate, whom they meet in the quarter-finals again this time round. Is there some long-awaited revenge on the cards?

This is the sixth time he has been at the helm of a Brazilian club in the competition and he has led his charges to at least the last eight on each occasion.
