VIDEO Last 16 bound! Estudiantes sank DIM at 93' in epic fashion | OneFootball

In La Plata, Pincha couldn’t break down Independiente Medellín and seemed headed for the Copa Sudamericana farewell until they celebrated a 1-0 win with a dramatic late goal by Amondarain.

Estudiantes won on Tuesday in truly epic fashion the match they had to win to reach the round of 16 of the 2026 Copa Libertadores, in a game at UNO that seemed to be slipping away without achieving the objective.

Against Independiente Medellín, for whom a draw was enough to advance, the match was even with few chances for either side, and it stayed scoreless until the final moments, when Mikel Amondarain, in a very tight position, connected with the third header in the box to make it 1-0, only for it to be immediately ruled out. After a VAR review, it was confirmed that the goalscorer had started his run legally, and UNO erupted in joy: Pincha will face the second half of the year in South America’s top continental tournament, while DIM will be the one to play in the Sudamericana from the group won by Flamengo.
