Libertad win group to advance in Copa Libertadores

(GSM) – Libertad are through to the next round of the Copa Libertadores following a 1-2 win at Bolivian side Blooming.

The Paraguayans needed a win in case Lanus beat Universitario in the other group game, but had a tough start in Bolivia as Julio Hurtado put the hosts ahead after 27 minutes.

But Adalberto Roman levelled 11 minutes later and Rodolfo Gamarra scored what turned out to be the winning goal eight minutes after the break.

Libertad finish first in Group 1 with 12 points and not a single defeat. They are joined in the next round by Universitatio, who drew 0-0 with Lanus in order to leave the Argentinians behind.
