Brazilian atletico madrid players

Boca keeper Sergio Romero was forced into two saves, keeping out efforts from Mayke and then Ze Rafael as the home side piled on the pressure. But then a moment of madness from Boca's experienced former Manchester United central defender Rojo in the 66th minute saw him sent off for a second yellow after a late, lunging challenge on Kevin.

Palmeiras smelt blood and piled forward in search of the leveller and Romero showed great reflexes to parry a firm, glancing header from Rony. The Brazilians got their reward when Boca cleared a corner out to Piquerez who unleashed a fierce drive from 25 yards which took a slight deflection and although Romero got a hand on the shot it whistled into the net.

Palmeiras pushed for a late winner but Romero denied them again with a fine save from a brilliant Rony overhead kick while at the other end, Cavani could have won it on the break but he slipped as he shot from a great position on the left. With no away goals rule, nor extra-time in the competition, the contest went to penalties and Cavani missed the first effort for Boca. But Romero then saved the first two efforts from Palmeiras, diving to keep out the efforts from Raphael Veiga and Gómez. The same image was published in Diario Popular , with the headline " Vamos por la séptima " "Let's go for the seventh" — a reference to the previous six Libertadores that Boca have already claimed.
