The semifinals of the Copa Libertadores got underway on Tuesday. Universidad de Chile took on Mexican side Chivas at Aztec stadium in Mexico City.

The first leg of this semifinal ended in a one all tie.

The Chilean side put up a good fight in the end Chivas had most of the second half possession but Universidad de Chile’s defense was good enough to hang on for the tie.

Chile scored first when Chivas defender Hector Reynoso couldn’t clear the header. This resulted in a perfect placed head ball by Universidad de Chile’s Juan Manuel Olivera to mate Rafael Olarra. Olarra nailed the noggin shot into the back of the net in the 47^th minute.

Chivas found the equalizer in the 51^st minute.

Omar Arellano Riveron slipped home the winner off a great header pass from mate Omar Bravo.

The second leg takes place in Santiago, Chile August 3^rd.

Wednesday other Copa Libertadores semifinal features two Brasileiro sides Sao Paulo and Internacional.

Both Tricolor and Colorado both hate each other’s guts.

This will be a blood bath.

Sao Paulo enters into this Copa encounter a hurting puppy.

Tricolor has lost three out of their last four Campeonato matches.

Internacional is coming off a huge win 1-0 over Flamengo on Sunday.

Colorado has four straight Campeonato encounters.

This will be a good one.
