Copa Libertadores Qualifying: Independiente Santa Fe, Club Nacional (Uruguay) Advance To Group Stage

The second and final week of qualifying for Copa Libertadores group-stage berths commenced on Tuesday with two games.

At Bogota, Colombia:

Jose de la Cuesta scored the only goal of the match in the 58th minute as Independiente Santa Fe blanked visiting Morelia 1-0 in game two, and with the aggregate score at 2-2, won their two-game series with the Mexican club on away goals and will be joining defending champions Atletico Mineiro of Brazil, Club Nacional of Paraguay, and Zamora FC from Venezuela in Group Four.

At Montevideo, Uruguay:

Ivan Alonso (18') and Carlos de Pena (73') provided the scoring as Club Nacional overturned their series-opening road defeat from last week with a 2-0 game-two home win over Oriente Petrolero and won their series 2-1 on aggregate.  Argentina's Newell's Old Boys, Brazil's Gremio, and Colombia's Atletico Nacional will be joining the Uruguayan club in Group Six.
