Cerro Porteño 2-0 La Paz FC
Fluminense 0-0 Flamengo
Vitória 2-0 Coritiba
Liverpool FC Montevideo 0-0 Cienciano Cusco
Missed this one last week but Alianza Atlético Sullana of Peru and Deportivo Anzoátegui of Venezuela drew 0-0 in their first leg tie. The second leg takes place on September 16. In Quito, last years Libertadores winners, Liga de Quito, overcame Libertad Asuncnión by a single goal from Neicer Reasco right on half time. Paraguay's Cerro Porteño grabbed a two goal advantage to take back to the altitude of La Paz. Roberto Nanni put the home side ahead after 21 minutes and Jorge Brítex doubled the advantage halfway through the second half. Nothing to write home about in the big clash of the round in Rio de Janeiro as the "Fla-Flu" finished 0-0 at the Maracaña. Flu were the home side for this game and now have a slight advantage for the second leg in two weeks time.
Things went to form as Vitória claimed a 2-0 victory over Coritiba. Ueilliton opened the scoring with a free kick in the 46th minute and a indivudual effort from Jackson 14 minutes from time wrapped things up. In Montevideo, Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by 2003 winners Ceinciano Cusco of Peru. Liverpool dominated their opponents, but like their English namesake, couldn't put the tie to bed. They hit the woodwork twice and missed an open goal in injury time, this after Ceinciano had been reduced to 10 men.
The fun and games came in Santa Cruz where referee Victor Hugo Carillo had to suspend the game between Blooming and River Plate Montevideo due to secutiry issues after 65 minutes after a home supporter had run onto the pitch and attacked River's Henry Giminez. Federico Puppo had put River Plate ahead in the 61st minute, after taking full advantage of an error from Blooming goalkeeper Andres Jemio. After the decision to suspend the match a hail of objects and flare were thrown from the stands, which some of River's technical staff were hit by. After the game, local police announced the individual who entered the pitch had been arrested and was also found to be carrying a knife. It is not known yet what action CONMEBOL will take. The likelyhood is that Blooming will be thrown out and River Plate given passage into Round 2. The second leg is scheduled for August 27 at the Centenario in Montevideo.
More ties takes place next week. Update should appear next Friday.
