Uruguayan side Liverpool became the last team to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 after beating Envigado of Colombia 1-0 in Montevideo to complete a 2-1 aggregate win.

Striker Carlos Nunez scored the only goal of the match after 29 minutes following good work by Paulo Pezzollano and William Ferreira.

Home coach Julio Cesar Antunez sent on defenders Marcelo Mansilla and Rodrigo Aguirre to maintain the advantage as Envigado wasted several chances.

The win means Liverpool will face Argentinians Independiente.
