Copa Libertadores Wrap: The Strongest advance

With the first leg having finished 1-1 in Mexico, Escobar's four-minute double in the dying stages saw The Strongest progress.

Nestor Craviotto's men take their place in Group Four, alongside Emelec, Internacional and Universidad de Chile.

Tuesday's clash in a very wet La Paz was locked at 0-0 entering the final 10 minutes, with the visitors needing a goal.

Instead, Escobar put the hosts ahead in the 86th minute - curling a left-footed effort into the bottom corner from just outside the area after Alejandro Chumacero's lay off.

In Argentina, hosts Huracan and Alianza Lima played out a 0-0 draw - that seeing the former claim a 4-0 aggregate win.
