The quarterfinal round of the Copa Libertadores concluded with two games on Thursday.
At Santos, Brazil:
Alan Kardec scored the only goal of the match in the 77th minute as Santos topped visiting Velez Sarsfield 1-0 in the second game of their two-game series. The series, deadlocked at three points apiece and with neither club scoring a goal on the road in the two games, went directly into the penalty-kick shootout. In the shootout, Alan Kardec, Paulo Ganso, Elano, and Leonardo Lourenco Leo Bastos all converted their spot kicks as Santos won the shootout 4-2 to advance to the semifinal round, in which they would face fellow Brazilian club Corinthians.
At Santiago, Chile:
Marcelo Diaz scored in the 17th minute to give Universidad de Chile a 1-0 lead in the second game of their two-match series, only to see Club Libertad score on the road, thanks to Osvaldo Gonzalez's own goal in the 22nd minute. After the 1-1 deadlock for game two, with each club registering three points and each scoring a goal on the road, Charles Aranguiz, Marcelo Diaz, Raul Ruidiaz, Matias Rodriguez, and Gustavo Lorenzetti all made their spot kicks as Universidad de Chile won the penalty-kick shootout 5-3 to advance to the semifinal round and a two-match encounter with Boca Juniors.
