Borges bicycle kick salvages draw for Sao Paulo

The other two matches produced away wins, with Uruguayans Nacional beating their Paraguayan namesakes 3-0 in Asuncion and Brazil's Sport Recife winning 2-1 at Chilean champions Colo Colo.

Sao Paulo, Brazilian champions for the last year three years in a row, dominated their Group Four game but were repeatedly foiled by Medellin keeper Aldo Bobadilla, who was in inspired form.

John Restrepo's crossfield pass found Jackson Martinez and he pulled the ball back for Luis Arias to score with a deflected shot.

Nineteen-year-old striker Ciro played a key part as Sao Paulo's compatriots Sport Recife won their Group One game in Santiago.

Uruguay's Nacional, who beat Deportivo San Martin at home last week, made it six points from two games in Group Three after beating Paraguay's Nacional 3-0.
