The third round of the Copa Libertadores de América got underway. Six matches livened up Tuesday (28). The only Brazilian team to take the field was Cruzeiro, who beat Boca Juniors (ARG) at Mineirão and kept their hopes alive in the competition.

San Lorenzo (ARG) 1×1 Santos Botafogo 3×0 Independiente Petrolero (BOL) Millonarios (COL) 0x0 São Paulo
Cruzeiro had an extra man for most of the match. That’s because Adam Bareiro received his second yellow card in the 46th minute of the first half and left Boca a man down. Even so, the home side could not create as expected. However, in the 37th minute, the Blues found an opening, and Néiser Villarreal scored the winning goal.
In Argentina, in Mirassol’s group, Lanús beat LDU 1-0. Meanwhile, in Paraguay, Independiente del Valle defeated Libertad 3-2. In Venezuela, with a goal from Di Maria, Rosario Central had no trouble beating UCV 3-0.
With a goal from Gabigol, Santos drew with San Lorenzo in Buenos Aires. Neymar started, but could not shine in the match. Botafogo, meanwhile, had no trouble beating Independiente Petrolero 3-0 at Engenhão. Finally, a reserve-filled São Paulo side earned a draw against Millonarios in Colombia.
If Cruzeiro escaped a delicate situation, Flamengo lead Group A of the Libertadores and will try to take a big step toward qualification this Wednesday (29). The opponent will be Estudiantes (ARG), in La Plata. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time.
