Copa Libertadores: River Plate, Colo-Colo, Cruzeiro Advance To Quaterfinals (The Last Two Clubs Despite Dropping Game Two Decisions)

Three games were contested on Wednesday in the Round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.

At Buenos Aires:

Lucas Pratto (10'), Exequiel Palacios (27'), and Rafael Borre (80') each scored once as River Plate, following a scoreless series opener, dominated visiting Racing 3-0 in game two and took out their Argentinian rivals by that same score on aggregate.

At Sao Paulo, Brazil:

Lucas Barrios scored the series-winning goal in the 31st minute as Colo-Colo, despite dropping a 2-1 game-two road decision to Corinthians, still advanced on away goals with the aggregate score at 2-2.

At Belo Horizonte, Brazil:

Despite dropping a game-two 1-0 home decision to Flamengo, Cruzeiro still won their all-Brazilian series 2-1 on aggregate.
