Botafogo defender Andre Luis was sent off for grabbing the referee’s yellow card as the Brazilian side were knocked out of the Copa Sudamericana by Argentina’s Estudiantes on Wednesday.

Estudiantes went through 4-2 on aggregate after holding out for a 2-2 draw in a bad-tempered quarter-final second leg at the Joao Havelange stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

Leading 2-0 from the first leg, Estudiantes got the perfect start when Marcos Angeleri scored with a shot into the far corner from the edge of the area after three minutes.

Juan Salgeiro doubled the visitors’ lead when he scored from the edge of the penalty box in the 33rd minute.

Botafogo enjoyed a brief revival when Lucio Flavio pulled one back from a penalty in the 58th minute and Andre Luis equalised soon afterwards.
