(Reuters) - Atletico Tucuman truly represented Argentina when they overcame a delayed flight, postponed kickoff and lost kit to win a Copa Libertadores preliminary round match in Ecuador in shirts borrowed at the last minute from the Argentina national team.

Without their kit on arrival at Quito airport, the players changed in the bus rushing them to the stadium having been lent shirts and boots from the under-20 Argentina team playing in the South American under-20 championship in Ecuador.
