Cavani on target but Boca held by Fortaleza in Copa Sudamericana
Edinson Cavani continued his prolific scoring run as Boca Juniors drew 1-1 at home to Fortaleza in their Copa Sudamericana Group D clash on Wednesday.
Cavani put the hosts ahead just after halftime at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires with a close-range effort following Lautaro Blanco's cross. The 37-year-old Uruguayan striker has now scored 11 times in 16 matches for Boca this year.
Fortaleza began attacking with more intent and Kervin Andrade put the Brazilian side on level terms in the 90th minute by calmly slotting a shot past former Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero on a counterattack.
Boca remain second in the group with eight points from five games, two points behind Fortaleza.
"We had our chances to score but weren't able to take them," Boca manager Diego Martinez told reporters. "Now we have to rely on other results going our way to make it to the next round."
