Estudiantes Capture Copa Libertadores Crown Number Four

At Belo Horizonte, Brazil:

Goals from Gaston Fernandez (57') and Mauro Boselli (73') lifted Estudiantes to come from behind to defeat Cruzeiro 2-1 on the road in game two of the finals of this year's Copa Libertadores to capture the South American club championship on points (3-0) over their Brazilian opponents. It is the La Plata, Argentina-based club's fourth Copa title, but their first since 1970.

The Argentinian club will represent COMNEBOL, South America's soccer confederation, in this coming December's FIFA Club World Cup, which will be played in the United Arab Emirates.
