In the shock of the Copa Libertadores tournament, Colombian outfit Atlético Nacional eliminated the defending champions, Atletico Mineiro, 2-1 on aggregate in the Round of 16. Facing the possibility of extra time and penalty kicks, Nacional was lifted by an 88th-minute goal from midfielder Jefferson Duque. It took two weeks, but the club is finally showing the signs of greatness manager Juan Carlos Osorio promised following the group stage (h/t to El Espectador). "This team still has plenty to give," Osorio said.

"We have a very professional staff, with a hierarchy of players who respond in key moments," he added.

"We're going to give it our all until the end. We've prepared and perfected a strategy that will allow us to compete in the league and in the Copa Libertadores."
