Rosario Central, with Ángel Di María pushing forward, pressed hard for a leveler but could not find a way past the home defense. The result sends Corinthians through to face Estudiantes de La Plata in the quarterfinals, a reward for their resilience while down a man. For Rosario Central, it's a heartbreaking exit despite a competitive showing, ending their Libertadores campaign at the last-16 stage.
