Round of 16 - Second Leg
Deportes Tolima 3-0 Banfield
3-3 on points, Deportes Tolima advances on goal difference
Huge shock in Colombia as Deportes Tolima dumped much fancied Banfield out of the competition and overcoming a two goal deficit in the process. Tolima made the perfect start when Wilder Medina put them ahead on the night and Christian Marrugo levelled the tie on aggregate four minutes before the break the belief was there. It took a bit of a knock back when Yair Arrechea was sent off on the hour but then ten men went ahead in the tie sixteen minutes from time when Rodrigo Marangoni scored. Banfield only needed to score to win on away goals but had Victor López sent off in injury time as the frustration grew.
