Update from Thursday’s matches. 03/27/08
By: Mauro |Danubio vs. Deportivo Cuenca (Estadio Centenario, Montevideo, Uruguay)
Another surprise result from this competition. I figured Danubio were dead in the water and really had nothing left to play for but they do. They could ruin Cuenca’s decent run and give the leaders of the group a hand. Which they did.
Cuenca was unbeaten and looked [...]
Tonight’s matches, 03/27/08
By: Mauro |I can’t stress to you all how cool it is that we will be able to watch ALL of this week’s matches on Fox Sports Español and live to boot. Next week, CONCACAF Champions Cup returns to interrupt the regular Copa Libertadores service we’ve been spoiled with this week.
Danubio host Cuenca in Group 2 action. [...]
Update from last night’s matches 03/26/08.
By: Mauro |LDU Quito vs. Arsenal de Sarandi (Quito, Ecuador)
Arsenal started off their visit well going up 1-0 on a goal from Leguizamon but then fell apart like they did against Fluminense a few weeks ago. Damian Manso (ex-Newells) played a great match which included scoring one of the his side’s 6 goals. I believe this group [...]
Copa Libertadores, update from last night’s matches…
By: Mauro |San Lorenzo vs. Bamin Real Potosi (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Last night, San Lorenzo hosted Bamin Real Potosi and won on a dodgy penalty call. In my opinion, there was contact on the foul, but it’s negligible as to whether or not it gets a call from the ref and in the end it’s what he’s paid [...]

Top five goals from last week.
By: Mauro |5) Libertad vs. Fluminense - Libertad’s only goal in this match. Corner kick taken to perfection. First highlight in this video.
4) Colo Colo vs. Boca - Bizcayzacu’s goal, not so much the actual goal, but the play leading up to the goal was nice into space for him to find it. This goal appears :20 [...]
Copa Libertadores 03/20/08
By: Mauro |Club Deportivo Cuenca vs. Club Atlético Lanús (Estadio Alejandro Serrano Aguilar, Cuenca, Ecuador)
This video contains a recap of the Sportivo Luqueño vs. Sao Paolo match as well.
Lanús are coming into this match needing some points. Ramón Cabrero’s men have quite a few injuries including goalscorers José Sand and Lautaro Acosta and leading playmaker Diego [...]
Veron’s importance to Estudiantes…
By: Mauro |Veron suffered a pretty severe knee injury in Tuesday’s clash with Danubio and reports say he’ll miss the next two to three weeks. In that time, Estudiantes de la Plata have some important matches in the Argentine Clausura and the Copa Libertadores. They play at Racing Club this weekend and home to Veléz Sarsfield the [...]
Copa Libertadores 03/19/08
By: Mauro |Libertad vs. Fluminense (Estadio Defensores de Chaco, Asuncion, Paraguay)
Libertad hosted Flu in the early match tonight. Fluminense was coming off a demolition of Arsenal de Sarando at home, 6-0 was the final result. Libertad was coming off a 2-0 loss away to LDU Quito. With that said, Libertad was on the offensive trying to find [...]
Copa Libertadores 03/18/08
By: Mauro |Estudiantes vs. Danubio (Estadio Unico, La Plata, Argentina)
Right out of the gates, Estudiantes poured on the pressure making it known to their rivals tonight, Danubio, that they wanted the top spot in their group. Pablo Piatti started the match with a great opportunity at putting his squad up 1-0 in the very first minute of [...]
