Lanus slump again in Libertadores

The Argentine Apertura championship leaders appeared set for their first win in Group Six when Santiago Biglieri put them ahead in the 29th minute from a rebound after Jose Sand's penalty was saved by Gustavo Dalsasso.

Sand had another effort blocked by Dalsasso two minutes later and then headed wide from Sebastian Blanco's cross before Everton, under former Chile coach Nelson Acosta, fought back in Tuesday night's game.

Colombian pair Independiente Medellin and America played out a goalless draw in Group Four, leaving Brazilian champions Sao Paulo and Uruguay's Defensor Sporting as clear favourites to progress.

Ecuador's Deportivo Cuenca went top of Group Two on goal difference by beating Venezuelan champions Deportivo Tachira 3-1.
