Copa Libertadores Review: Boca, Rosario through to quarter-finals

Boca Juniors are through to the Copa Libertadores last eight courtesy of another stunning performance from Carlos Tevez.

The striker - recently recalled to Argentina's provisional Copa America squad - dazzled the Cerro Porteno defence at times as he helped his team to a 3-1 win.

For all his good play, Tevez's goal came from the penalty spot after just four minutes when he converted following a Cerro Porteno foul in the box.

The Paraguayan outfit levelled the scores after 12 minutes, however, with Rodrigo Rojas finishing some lovely team play when he tucked away Luis Leal's cross.

The Argentine giants will now take on Uruguay's Nacional in the quarter-finals, which get underway next week.

Elsewhere, Rosario Central ended Gremio's campaign with a superb performance in a 3-0 win.
