Copa Sudamericana Wrap: Vallejo, Emelec advance

Peruvians Cesar Vallejo left it late to beat Bahia 2-0, levelling the round of 16 tie against the Brazilians at 2-2.

And the Estadio Mansiche hosts in Trujillo edged to a 7-6 victory on penalties.

Erik's 20th-minute goal saw the Brazilians force a shootout, only for Emelec to respond to edge the spot-kicks.

The hosts in Chile continually fought back, with Andres Vilches cancelling out Michel Bastos' opener.

Ganso restored the Brazilians' lead midway through the first half, but Anyelo Zagal levelled on the night late on.

Paraguay's Deportivo Capiata only needed a 44th-minute own goal from Lisandro Magallan to beat Boca Juniors 1-0 in their first leg in Argentina.
