Ayron del Valle lifted Millonarios to an important win in the Copa Libertadores, while Defensor Sporting also claimed a victory on Tuesday.
Del Valle scored a hat-trick to help Colombian outfit Millonarios to a 4-0 victory over Deportivo Lara in Bogota.
His opener came in the 20th minute, finishing off a Jair Palacios cross, before he doubled his side's lead with a fine strike from 25 yards.
Elieser Quinones' powerful effort via the underside of the crossbar made it 3-0 in the 67th minute before Del Valle completed his hat-trick.
Substitute Juan Camilo Salazar unselfishly squared to Del Valle to tap in the easiest of finishes, wrapping up Millonarios' win.
