Jorge Valdivia, Lucas Barrios typify Colo Colo grit in Copa Libertadores

The last eight of this year's Copa Libertadores will not consist of teams only from Brazil and Argentina. Colo Colo of Chile have made it into the quarterfinals, drawing 2-2 on aggregate with Corinthians of Brazil, and going through on the away goals rule.

For Corinthians, this is another in a recent run of frustrations since finally winning the trophy in 2012. They have taken part in four subsequent tournaments, falling in the second round each time. They must surely have expected to reach the quarterfinals this time when they took an early lead in front of their own fans in Sao Paulo.
