Libertad cruise past nine-man Blooming

(GSM) – Libertad of Paraguay comfortably lead Group 4 of the Copa Libertadores following a 4-0 win over Bolivian outfit Blooming on Tuesday.

The Paraguayans, who had already beaten Lanus of Argentina last week, needed 45 minutes for Victor Caceres to score the opening goal.

Blooming went two men down in the first minutes of the second half as both Fabricio Brandao and Andres Imperiale received a second yellow card, leaving the Bolivian guests completely deflated.

Rodolfo Gamarra doubled Libertad’s lead in the 68th minute, and injury time goals from Victor Ayala and again Gamarra set the final score to 4-0.

The other two teams in this group, Universitario and Lanus, play each other in Peru on Wednesday.
