Copa Libertadores Review: Gabriel leads Santos, Atletico cruise

Gabriel Barbosa helped Santos continue their strong form in the Copa Libertadores, while Atletico Nacional won comfortably on Tuesday.

Gabriel, on loan from Inter, opened the scoring in Santos' 2-0 win over Estudiantes in Sao Paulo.

Atletico Nacional cruised to a comfortable 4-1 win over Bolivar in Group 2 in Medellin.

Gonzalo Castellani scored a scrappy opener before Atletico struck twice after the half-hour mark, Vladimir Hernandez and Dayro Moreno putting away rebounds.

While Marcos Riquelme tapped in a goal for Bolivar shortly after half-time, Moreno sealed Atletico's win.

The Colombian side made it three wins in four in Group 2, moving four points clear of Bolivar.

In Group 7, a brace from Carlos Sierra helped Deportivo Lara edge Millonarios 2-1.
