Sporting 4-3 Independiente Medellin
Goals: Alvaro Navarro 13, 90, Diego Vera 35, Diego De Souza 82 (Defensor Sporting); Luis Arias 19, Andres Ortiz 77, Diego Cabrera 90 (Independiente Medellin)
With the expecting of a win to advance and the visitors only requiring a point, the stage was set for a dramatic evening at the Centenario in Montevideo (Stadium). So it proved as the Group 4 rivals served up the game of the tournament so far, a seven-goal game that will define who stays in the competition.
Winning 3-2 with only two minutes remaining and a man to the good following Jair Benitez, Jorge da Silva's side seemed to have everything under control. They reckoned without Diego Cabrera, however, who headed home to level the game for Los DIM and give them the draw they had come for. But actually, the Uruguayans did not give up and in the fourth minute of stoppage time Navarro turned the ball into the back of the net to spark wild celebrations in the stands, scoring the winning goal for the Sporting.
