The quarterfinal round of the Copa Libertadores concluded with two games on Thursday.
At Quilmes, Argentina:
Giuliano scored a critical away goal at 88 minutes as Internacional, despite dropping a 2-1 road decision in game two to Estudiantes, still advanced to the semifinal round, as even though the two clubs were level on points (three apiece) and on goal differential (zero), the Brazilian club had the away goals advantage, 1-0. Next, Internacional will face off in a two-match semifinal series against fellow Brazilian club Sao Paulo.
At Santiago, Chile:
Universidad de Chile, despite dropping a 2-1 home decision to Flamengo in game two of their two-match quarterfinal series, still won the series on away goals. Each team had three points and were level on goal differential, but the Chilean club scored more away goals 3-2. Walter Montillo scored what proved to be the series-clinching goal for Universidad at 73 minutes.
