Banfield moved into the Copa Sudamericana Round of 16 after a 1-1 draw gave them an aggregate victory over Argentinian rivals Velez Sarsfield on Wednesday.

Banfield won 1-0 in the second round first leg thanks to a goal by Cristian Garcia and they doubled their overall lead 16 minutes into the second leg thanks to a goal by Marcelo Carrusca.

They appeared to be easing through before a last-minute Jonathan Cristaldo halved the deficit but the 2009 Apertura champions held on for victory.
