Hey everyone,

It was a good night for futbol Argentino last night.  River Plate advanced to the quarter finals despite last night’s 1-1 second-leg draw in the Monumental to Guarani.  Lucas ALARIO scored the winner for River. Lanus claimed a 2-1 aggregate victory as well thanks to Jose SAND’S 85th minute winner against visiting The Strongest.
