Music by Opeth. Soccer-Boca fight back to beat troubled Colo Colo 4-3. Titleholders Boca Juniors missed a penalty, had a player sent off but still managed to rally twice for a 4-3 win over Chilean champions Colo Colo in the Libertadores Cup on Thursday.

After a troubled week in which the players boycotted Monday's practice in a bonus row and coach Claudio Borghi quit, Colo Colo found themselves a goal up and with a one-man advantage after only 25 minutes at Boca's Bombonera stadium.

Borghi, who announced on Tuesday that he had resigned, was on the bench but confirmed afterwards that the match was the last of a two-and-a-half year reign in which his team won four successive Chilean titles.

"There's no turning back, I'm going," he told reporters after the game in Buenos Aires.

Boca's troubles began when defender Fabian Monzon was sent off in the 22nd minute for a wild two-footed challenge, and then Gustavo Biscayzacu put the visitors ahead three minutes later with a clinically-taken goal.

In a breathtaking game played in a raucous atmosphere, Boca were awarded a penalty in the 28th minute but Martin Palermo, who famously missed three penalties for Argentina against Colombia at the Copa America in 1999, fired wide.

Two minutes later Palermo atoned for the miss by heading home the equaliser.

Colo Colo, who beat Boca 2-0 in Santiago last week, regained the lead with another Biscayzacu goal two minutes before half-time but Boca levelled again five minutes after the restart when Leandro Gracian slid the ball under Cristian Munoz.

Rodrigo Palacio rounded Munoz to put Boca in front in the 66th minute and Neri Cardozo fired a fourth in the 89th for the Argentines after drifting past his marker and blasting a shot into the goal off the underside of the crossbar.

Rodolfo Moya pulled one back for the visitors in injury time.

The win took Boca level with Group Three leaders Atlas of Mexico on seven points, with Colo Colo a point behind in third.

Uruguay's Danubio kept their faint hopes alive in Group Two by beating Ecuador's Deportivo Cuenca 2-0 in Montevideo with goals from Damian Malrrechaufe and Alejandro Lembo.

Danubio remain bottom of the group with four points from five games but are only two behind Cuenca and Argentina's Lanus.

Colombian provincial side Cucuta went four points clear at the top of Group Six after beating Guadalajara 1-0 with a 53rd minute goal from Argentine striker Matias Urbano.

Cucuta have eight points while Guadalajara are bottom of the group with three.
