Travel chaos meant that an incredible race against time ensued for a club chasing its first major honour, but they managed a famous victory
Atletico Tucuman faced a journey for the ages as they attempted to meet their Copa Libertadores date with Ecuadorian side El Nacional.
The fixture was an important second qualifying round second-leg clash, with the previous fixture between the sides having finished 2-2 six days previous.
Two hours from the match’s scheduled start time, the Argentine team found themselves grounded in Guayaquil, 450 kilometres from their scheduled destination as the flight they were on did not have authorisation.
