Juan Aurich (Yes, Folks, That's The Name Of A Peruvian Club) And Cruzeiro Reach Group Stage

Two more clubs locked up berths in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.

At Belo Horizonte, Brazil:

Seven different goal scorers each scored once as Cruzeiro destroyed visiting Real Potosi 7-0 in game two of the clubs' two-match series, enabling the Brazilian club to end up winning the series 4 points to 1.

Cruzeiro will be in Group Seven alongside Velez Sarsfield (Argentina), Colo-Colo (Chile), and Deportivo Italia (Venezuela).

At Zapopan, Mexico:

Luis Tejada (42') and Ricardo Ciciliano (73') provided the scoring that lifted Juan Aurich to a 2-1 road win in game two over Estudiantes Tecos, thus sweeping the two games from their Mexican opponents, getting the maximum six points for their efforts.

The Peruvian club will be joined in Group Three by fellow Peruvian club Alianza Lima, Bolivia's Club Bolivar, and Argentina's Estudiantes, who happen to be the defending continental club champions.
