Estudiantes de La Plata took control of the Round of 16 tie with a 3-0 win over Universidad Católica in Santiago. The away side were ruthlessly efficient, scoring three times from seven shots on target while the home side managed only one effort on goal.
The breakthrough came just before the break, Joaquín Correa finishing in the 44th minute to make it 0-1. Guido Carrillo extended the lead in the 53rd minute and then added his second, and Estudiantes' third, in the 83rd to settle the tie. Universidad Católica pushed for a way back but never seriously threatened the visiting goal.
The match produced 11 shots apiece, but the difference was quality: Estudiantes put seven on target and finished with an expected goals total of 1.26, while Universidad Católica had just one shot on target and an expected goals total of 0.48. Carrillo's brace was the centrepiece of a composed, efficient performance.
