Copa Libertadores Wrap: Five-star Boca win again

Cesar Meli played a part in all three of Boca's first-half goals at La Bombonera, while Dani Osvaldo scored both after the break, as the Buenos Aires-based club regained a three-point advantage in Group Five.

Wanderers had joined Boca on six points at the top of Group Five with a win over Palestino on Tuesday but Rodolfo Arruabarrena's side surged to nine with their comprehensive win at home.

In the second half, Southampton loanee Osvaldo made it three goals in two Libertadores matches, finishing off Juan Manuel Martinez's centring header in the 69th minute and slotting a penalty with eight minutes remaining.
