Boca Juniors clinch Libertadores semifinal spot
Boca Juniors celebrates after scoring during the match of the 7th date of the Argentine First Division Tournament, against Union de Santa Fe
Buenos Aires - XINHUA
Argentina's Boca Juniors progressed to the Copa Libertadores semifinals on Thursday with a thrilling 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Nacional of Uruguay.
After a 1-1 draw in last week's quarterfinal first leg in Montevideo, the visitors went ahead in the 21st minute at the Bombonera stadium via a Daniel Diaz own goal.
Cristian Pavon equalized in the 73rd minute, but jubilation turned to disbelief for the hosts when the striker was shown a second yellow card for excessively celebrating his goal.
Nacional failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage as 10-man Boca forced the match into penalties.
With the shootout tied at 3-3, Nacional's teenage midfielder Felipe Carballo shot straight at goalkeeper Agustin Orion.
Federico Carrizo then stepped up to coolly convert his spotkick and send the home side's fans into a frenzy.
Boca are aiming to win the Copa Libertadores - Latin America's premier club trophy - for a seventh time, a feat that would see them equal compatriots Independiente with the most titles.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
