A COPA LIBERTADORES PICSPAM

[jenni_blog]

Here is a little picspam of selected pics from the Copa Libertadores games this past week. This tournament is in the group stages, so it's still early on for them.

The goal.com 'team of the week' is Once Caldas of Colombia who defeated favourites Sao Paulo of Brazil.

Results from SOME of the games:

Monterrey (Mexico) 2 - 1 Nacional (Paraguay)
Once Caldas 2 - 1 Sao Paulo
Blooming (Bolivia) 1 - 4 Lanus (Argentina)
Corinthians (Brazil) 2 - 1 Racing (Uruguay)
Universitario (Peru) 0 - 0 Libertad (Paraguay)
Internacionale Porto Alegre (Brazil) 2 - 1 Emelec (Ecuador)
Morelia (Mexico) 2 - 1 Nacional Montevideo (Uruguay)
Deportivo Italia (Venezuela) 0 - 1 Velez Sarsfield (Argentina)
Juan Aurich (Peru) 2 - 0 Bolivar (Bolivia)
Cruzeiro (Brazil) 4 - 1 Colo Colo (Chile)
Flamengo (Brazil) 2 - 0 U. de Catolica (Chile)

Once Caldas actually had its league game suspended last week because of an explosion at a local hospital in Ibague where the game was to be played. Authorities thought that since ambulance and medical staff rushed en masse to the hospital, then the fans and players at the stadium would have been left without any medical help if it had been necessary. Anyway, if anyone is interested, there is an article in the link below:
