BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil — Boca Juniors defender Luis Advincula has been sent off after only nine seconds in his team's Copa Sudamericana knockout match against Brazil's Cruzeiro. Cruzeiro advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament after a 5-4 win in a penalty shootout. The 34-year-old Peruvian right-back received the red card from veteran referee Wilmar Roldán after stepping with his right foot on the ankle of Cruzeiro's Lucas Romero, who screamed in pain, but managed to continue playing. Cruzeiro won the match 2-1, which forced the penalty shootout after Boca's 1-0 win in the first leg. The Brazilian club will take on Paraguay's Libertad in the next round of the tournament.
