Boca heaped more misery on Gremio as they defeated the Brazilians 0-2 in Brazil to add a 6th Copa Libertadores title to their pedigree, only 1 behind compratrioits Independiente.

Requilme struck a brace in the 2nd half of the 2nd leg to add to the 3 unanswered goals Boca scored in the 1st leg in Argentina.

The on-loan veteran Requilme, who hit 3 of the 5 goals, will be celebrating the end of his return with the return of trophy-winning form for Boca, as they have endured a small title draught since the loss of manager Basile a few seasons ago.

The victory now puts the Argentine giants on course for the World Club Championship later in the year to keep their trophy drive alive.

The taste of trophies should, however, push Boca to recapture their league form. With 2 consecutive 2nd place finishes in the Argentine league, Boca will now be looking to set their league form aright when the league championship resumes.
