BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Mexico's veteran World Cup captain Rafael Marquez made an unhappy exit from this year's Libertadores Cup when he was sent off in Leon's 1-1 draw with Bolivar in the second leg of their last 16 tie in La Paz on Tuesday.

The Bolivian champions, who held Leon to a 2-2 draw in Mexico in last week's first leg, went through to the quarter-finals of South America's elite club competition on the away goals rule.
