Boca Juniors became the first Argentine club to book their passage into the quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday night as they got a 1-1 draw against Liga de Quito in the Ecuadorean capital. Boca having won the first leg 4-0 in La Bombonera, the match was about as exciting as one would expect, with only Agustín ‘Tin Man’ Delgado’s equaliser / consolation for LDU providing a high point (Boca’s own goal was from a penalty, converted by Jesús Dátolo). The other Argentine sides are all still to play as this story went online…
Argentinos Juniors, who lost their first leg 2-1 in Mexico, are currently hosting San Luís in the return. River plate, who won against Defensor Sporting in Montevideo last week, have their home leg on Thursday night, kicking off at 19:15, whilst Arsenal vs. Estudiantes (the first leg was 2-1 to the home side in La Plata) kicks off two-and-a-half hours later. I’ll be away on Friday night so videos of any goals in those matches will have to wait until Saturday, if at all, but for the goals from Boca’s match and any that are scored in the Argentinos game tonight, check back on Thursday evening.
