Copa Libertadores: Corinthians Ousted; Boca and Newell's Old Boys Advance

Two games were played in the Round of 16 in the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.

At Sao Paulo, Brazil:

Juan Roman Riquelme scored the series-winning goal in the 25th minute as Boca Juniors gained a 1-1 game-two road draw with Corinthians and dethroned the defending South American and world champions four points to one.

At Buenos Aires:

In an all-Argentinian battle, Milton Casco (4') and Ignacio Scocco (41') provided the scoring as Newell's Old Boys defeated Velez Sarsfield 2-1 on the road in game two, and with each team garnering three points, advanced to the quarterfinal round on away goals.

Newell's Old Boys and Boca Juniors will face off in an all-Argentinian quarterfinal round two-game series.
