(Reuters) - Independiente del Valle are the odd men out in the Copa Libertadores semi-finals, where they will meet favourites Boca Juniors in July after a break for next month’s Copa America Centenario.

They have only been in Ecuador’s top flight since 2010, but they have reached the last four in their first season in the Libertadores, overcoming Guarani of Paraguay in the qualifying round.
