*********************************************
Group phase (1st placed and six best 2nd placed qualify):

Tue, Mar 9

Group 3
Bolívar (La Paz-BOL) 0-0 Estudiantes (La Plata-ARG)
First point for Bolívar who need a miracle to qualify.
Estudiantes will hope Alianza Lima don't get a win in the
Peruvian match-ups against Juan Aurich if they want to top
the group.

Group 1
Racing Montevideo (URU) 2-1 Cerro Porteño (Asunción-PAR)
[Matías Mirabaje 19', Martín Cauteruccio 69' - Luis Enrique
Cáceres 84']
Mirabaje was left free on the edge of the box to receive a
pass from a free kick, his shot apparently took a slight
deflection before going into the bottom corner. A very high
cross into the box eluded Barreto and Cauteruccio, standing
behind him, touched towards goal. A defender tried a goal
line clearance but could only put the ball in off the bar,
although it seemed to be past the line anyway. The ball
bounced over a Racing defender when Cerro were already
down to ten men and Cáceres fired in a consolation goal into
the near corner.
Racing climb to second and Cerro may end the round alone
at the bottom of the group.

Group 8
Univ. Católica (Santiago-CHL) 2-2 Univ. de Chile (Santiago-CHL)
[played in Coquimbo; Matías Rubio 21', Francisco Silva 70' -
JM Olivera 19', Edson Puch 90+2']
La Católica's defenders were apparently unaware there was a
corner kick being taken against their team, it was taken short
and quick, as defenders scrambled to position, Fuentes tried
a headed clearance but hit the ball against Olivera's CHEST,
and it went in. Católica responded fast, Rubio awkwardly
controlled a nice long ball but had time to poise himself and
slot under Conde. La U's 'keeper would later provide us the
howler of the season, letting Silva's speculative long drive slip
under his legs and slowly into the goal. Puch saved his
blushes with a late header from a corner kick.
La U take a provisional lead with four points, Católica get their
first point.

Group 6
Deportivo Cuenca (ECU) 2-0 Monarcas Morelia (MEX)
[Gabriel Méndez 59', Luis Miguel Escalada 83']
Méndez got the ball near the center circle, advanced a few
steps and sent a rocket in off the bar. Escalada received from
Méndez and brilliantly shot first time low into the near corner.
Cuenca revive their hopes in the competition with their first
three points; Morelia, with only one, are almost out of
contention.
