Copa Libertadores Review: Pumas, Atletico Nacional advance to quarterfinals

Mexican outfit Pumas and Colombian side Atletico Nacional qualified for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

Pumas are through to the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals thanks to a 2-0 win over 10-man Deportivo Tachira on Tuesday.

After going down 1-0 in the first leg, Pumas scored twice at home to ensure they made the last eight with a 2-1 aggregate victory.

Eduardo Herrera struck first for the Mexican side in just the 13th minute with a powerful header from close range.

A 1-0 scoreline would have sent the game into extra time, but Pumas managed to find a second nine minutes from the end of the second half.
