Asunción, IP Agency.-The two Brazilian teams eliminated historic teams from the same country and placed themselves among the 4 best teams on the continent.
Mineiro, with a double from forward Deyverson and with the Paraguayan Junior Alonso as the starter, left Fluminense on the road, the last defender of the Conmebol Libertadores title with an overall score of 2 to 1.
Master and lord of the second leg of the quarterfinals, the ‘Galo’ turned the series around, after losing 1-0 at the Maracaná a week ago, with goals from the irreverent 33-year-old attacker in the 50th and 88th minutes.
The ‘Flu’, threatened by relegation in the Brazilian league, said goodbye giving a languid presentation, very different from the offensive commitment that led them to win their first Libertadores last year.
Meanwhile, Botafogo eliminated Sao Paulo in a penalty shootout 5 to 4 in the second leg, played at the Morumbi stadium, in the city of São Paulo.
Argentine Thiago Almada put ‘Fogao’ ahead in the 15th minute, although also Argentine Jonathan Calleri, with a great header, tied the local team in the 87th minute.
In the penalty shootout, Calleri and Rodrigo Néstor missed Sao Paulo’s first and sixth shots, against a Botafogo team in which Vitinho barely missed his, the fourth shot.
Matheus Martins hit the sixth shot for ‘Fogao’ and gave the classification to the leader of the Brazilian league, which seeks to win the Libertadores for the first time in its history.Blu.
