Copa Libertadores Review: Tevez nets brace as Boca clinch top spot

A two-goal performance from Carlos Tevez saw Boca Juniors to a 6-2 win over Deportivo Cali and top spot after the final Copa Libertadores match in Group 3.

Former Juventus striker Tevez scored in either half as Boca stayed unbeaten and advanced to the last 16 as group winners on Wednesday.

Boca's Frank Fabra opened the scoring in the 17th minute but it all went pear-shaped when Mateo Casierra equalised in the 36th minute and put Cali ahead just seconds later.

Cerro Porteno overcame nine-man Santa Fe thanks to Junior Alonso's 34th-minute goal.
