League champions Lanús booked their place in the Copa Libertadores group stage on Tuesday night, winning in style against Ecuadorian champs Olmedo to overturn a 1-0 first leg defeat.

Appearing at the end of the tunnel? A draw or a Tigre win in Sunday evening's game would have made the championship race insanely close given some of the other results we've had this weekend.
