Santos took a little trip to Columbia to battle Once Caldas. Santos came away with a huge 1-0 win in the first leg of quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

Alan Patrick ripped the twines for Peixe in the 42^nd minute.

In the other Copa quarterfinals match up saw Penarol defeated Universidad Catolica 2-0 in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Penarol now has to go Catolica’s house in Santiago, Chile next week.

UOL wrote this about the Santos win-A ausência de Paulo Henrique Ganso não foi sentida pelo Santos graças ao bom desempenho de Alan Patrick. O substituto do lesionado camisa 10 garantiu a vitória do Santos contra o Once Caldas, na noite desta quarta-feira, em pleno estádio Palogrande, em Manizales, na Colômbia, na partida de ida pelas quartas de final da Libertadores, ao marcar o gol do triunfo por 1 a 0.
O gol foi marcado aos 42 minutos do primeiro tempo após Alan Patrick receber belo passe de Neymar e finalizar com calma e categoria, fazendo lembrar Ganso.
“Foi uma boa finalização do Alan. Acho que ele pode me dar 30% do gol”, disse

Neymar, em entrevista ao Sportv.

UOL said this about the Uruguayan sides win at their house in Montevideo- O Peñarol contou mais uma vez com o apoio de sua fanática torcida na noite desta quarta-feira para conquistar uma vitória importante na Copa Libertadores. Pelo jogo de ida das quartas de final diante da Universidad Católica, o time uruguaio recebeu a equipe chilena no Estádio Centenário, em Montevidéu. Empurrado pelo bom público, o algoz do Internacional venceu por 2 a 0.Em uma partida movimentada, mas sem grandes chances de gol, o Peñarol aproveitou as falhas do goleiro Garcés. A primeira veio aos 36 minutos do primeiro tempo, quando Urretaviscaya, grande destaque do time urugaio no jogo, iniciou a jogada pela esquerda. Mesmo marcado por dois adversários, ele gingou e encontrou espaço para o cruzamento. Garcés foi tentar encaixar, soltou a bola e Oliveira não desperdiçou, empurrando para o gol.

 Brasileiros sides were almost shut out of the quarterfinals.  Defending chump, I mean champ Internacional, Gremio, Fluminense, and Cruzeiro stunk the joint out when they blew sizeable first leg leads.

Way to go garoto snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Brasileiros sides crashed and burned on Wednesday night in the knockout stage of the Copa Libertadores.

Not a good night indeed.

Gremio, Internacional, Fluminense, and Cruzeiro stunk the joint out big time.

Raposa had a 2-1 lead over Once Caldas after the first stage was played in Columbia.

Coming home should have been a breeze for Cruzeiro.

Not.

The Columbian side scored two goals and advanced into the next round on a 3-2 aggregate.

Second half goals by Diego Amaya, 66^th minute, and Dayro Mauricio Moreno 71^st minute sent Once Caldas to the Promised Land.

Flu destroyed Libertad 3-1 in Rio de Janeiro.

Libertad needed to score three goals and hold Fluminense goal less to win this sucker in Paraguay.

This is exactly what happened.

Libertad ripped the twines three times, won 3-0, and advanced 4-3 on aggregate.

Anther one of those choke city jobs.

The defending 2010 Copa Champs Internacional were chumps this time around blowing a 1-0 lead.

Colorado jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the first minute on a goal by Junior Oscar Dos Santos Emboada.

Penarol scored twice to win this sucker 2-1 and win on aggregate 3-2 to advance.

Penarol and Internacional tied one all in Uruguay.

Gremio lost their first match to Univerisdad Catolica 2-1 at Porto Alegre.

Univerisdad Catolica secured a 1-0 home win in Santiago Chile to win on aggregate 3-1.

Santos is the only Brasileiros side to advance to the next round.

Santos defeated America 1-0 in Sao Paulo and then tied America nil-nil in Mexico City.

Both Brasileiros sides picked up huge first round wins in the knockout stage of the Copa Libertadores.

Cruzeiro doubled up on Once Caldas 2-1.

Second half goals by Wallyson 72^nd minute and Jose Ortigoza 83^rd minute gave Raposa a huge road win.

UOL put it this way- Depois de encontrar dificuldade no primeiro tempo, o Cruzeiro fez valer a melhor campanha na fase de grupos da Copa Libertadores e, com uma boa atuação na etapa final, derrotou o Once Caldas, por 2 a 1, nesta quarta-feira, no estádio Palogrande, na altitude de Manizales. Em vantagem, o time mineiro decidirá, agora, a classificação em casa.

All Raposa has to do is tie nil-nil or hold the Columbian side to one goal or less, win this sucker one goal or more.

Santos defeated America 1-0 at Peixe’s house Santos.

Paulo Henrique nailed the match winner in the 38^th minute.

Second round will be played in Mexico.

Road goals are a premium.

UOL explained it – Na primeira vez de Pelé na Vila Belmiro em 2011, o atual camisa 10, Paulo Henrique Ganso, brilhou. O meia foi o autor do gol da vitória do Santos por 1 a 0 contra o América-MEX, na noite desta quarta-feira, e deixou o alvinegro em vantagem no confronto das oitavas de final da Libertadores. Agora, o time comandando por Muricy joga por um empate no México.

It is only two months into the 2010 futebol campaign for Sao Paulo. Tricolor has lots of problems and if they continue to play this way Sao Paulo will indeed have a very long year.

Rogerio Ceni recorded first blood for Sao Paulo. He nailed a screamer into the wall. Bing bam boom the shot comes flying off the wall into the back of the net. Once Caldas keeper Luis Martinez never had a chance to stop this sucker.

This made it 1-0 for Sao Paulo in the 33^rd minute.

With this goal, Ceni becomes Sao Paulo’s all time leading scorer with eleven goals in the Copa Libertadores.

Then the wheels fell off the wagon for Sao Paulo.

Once Caldas ratcheted up the pressure.

Once Caldas tied this baby up in the 49^th minute. Uribe flat out beat Tricolor defender Xandao. Wham bam boom, back of the net for Uribe and we are even at one all.

Once Caldas took the lead when Moreno ran rings around the Sao Paulo “D”. He ripped the twines in the 71^st minute to give Once Caldas a 2-1 lead.

This was all she wrote.

Stick a fork in Sao Paulo for they are surely done.

Once Caldas has six points after two matches. Sao Paulo has three points.

For the past few weeks, Sao Paulo has been playing horrible futebol. Sure, Tricolor is in second placed in Group Two but Sao Paulo has dropped two straight matches.

Sao Paulo has lost to Portuguesa, Palmeiras, and Santos in the Campeonato Paulista.

Tricolor is currently in sixth place with 17 points. Tricolor trails Torneo Paulista leader Santos by eight points.

Lets shift gears for a moment. We have two huge matches on Saturday in the EPL.

The biggie is Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. City is coming off a hard loss to Stoke City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Blues lost to Inter 2-1. This was a hard fought tangle between the Blues and Inter in the first stage of the Champions League knockout round.

Both goals given up by Chelsea were bitter pills to swallow for the Blues. Jose Mourinho Inter’s headman is the former Blues boss who took them to EPL glory.

Will this disappointment bite Chelsea in the butt?

We will find out.

The Blues are unbeaten at home and have only been scored on eight times by the opposition at Stamford Bridge.

Goals will hard to come by for City.

Manchester City will have Carlos Tevez. This should provide an offensive spark for City.

The Blues will be without Petr Cech, torn calf muscle, and Ashley Cole, broken ankle.

I can’t wait to see who dictates the match.

Will it be Tevez or Drogba?

You can sure bet there will be a ton of fireworks on the pitch with these two very intense players battling it out.

We have a huge match with Stoke City at Britannia Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners will have the services of Eduardo available however; we will be without Gallas, Diaby, and Arshavin. This could hurt us deeply if we are not careful.

Fabregas and the guys need to come through big time.

Road wins are a premium in the EPL.

We need to win this baby.

Three points are a must.

When the dust finally settles on Saturday we will have a clearer picture of how the race shaped up for the title run.

Man U has already won.

The pressure is squarely on Chelsea and Arsenal to keep up pace.

All we need is for Chelsea to have a brain fart and lose at home and we’re in like Flynn.

Flamengo started out their match against Universidad Catolica with a dud. Mengao player Williams was given the heave-hoe in the second minute of the match. I guess Williams decided he didn’t like Martinez’s face so Williams gave it a little rearranging.

This was a no-no.

Bamo just like that we are one man down.

Up stepped Leo Moura who gave Rubro-Negro the lift we needed. He stopped. He popped and nailed the winner in the 10^th minute to give us 1-0 lead.

Not to be out done in stupidity Catolica returned the red card favor in the 42^nd minute. Diaz fired a wicked shot on goal. Clank the ball bounds off the cross bar. His mate Mirosevic didn’t like it so he decided to take out his frustration on Mengao player Toro.

I guess Mirosevic thought he was in the WWF so he stomped on his gut. He was given the you are outta here by the ref in the 42^nd minute.

Now we are all even Steven at ten men.

Flamengo made em pay in the 58^th minute. Leo Moura fed a perfect ball to Adriano. The Emperor rattled the cages to give us the 2-0 lead.

Vagner Love had a chance to make 3-0 but he wore the choke collar when he missed the gimmie PK late in the 82^nd minute.

A chance do terceiro gol saiu após passe de Adriano para Love. O Artilheiro do Amor foi puxado na área e, após consultar o bandeirinha, Amarilla marcou pênalti. Porém, o atacante cobrou mal, por cima do travessão. 

This win snapped our winless schnid of opening round matches in the Copa at nine.  This was our first win on opening day since 1984.

A huge shout out to the guys and way to go garoto.

UOL www.uol.com.br wrote about it this way: O primeiro tempo não foi dos melhores, mas, com uma grande atuação de Léo Moura e com considerável melhora no segundo tempo, o Flamengo não teve grandes dificuldades para vencer o Universidad Católica por 2 a 0, nesta quarta-feira, no Maracanã, na estreia do time na Copa Libertadores da América. Com o resultado, o time brasileiro chegou aos três pontos no Grupo 8 da competição. Léo Moura e Adriano marcaram para o time da casa. Foi o segundo triunfo do clube carioca em estreias na competição. A primeira foi em 1984 quando bateu o Santos.

Yes, a win is a win but Adriano and the guys were just not quite all there. There were many holes in the Flamengo “D”. Globo Esporte wrote it this way: Para dificultar ainda mais as ações ofensivas do time brasileiro, Adriano não estava em noite inspirada. Mal posicionado, foi presa fácil para a marcação adversária. Aos 34, Fuentes subiu sozinho após cobrança de escanteio e cabeceou com muito perigo.

The Chilean side had their chances but they missed it by that much. O gol dos chilenos ficou ainda mais perto quando Díaz bateu falta no travessão , aos 42 minutos. Só que, na volta, Mirosevic perdeu a cabeça e pisou na barriga de Toró. O árbitro o expulsou e igualou as equipes com dez em campo.

I am happy with the win but jeez, guys we really have to improve immensely if we are going to make it out of the Group stage.

Corinthians and Cruzeiro had hot dates in the Copa as well.

Corinthians took care of business by doubling up on Racing-Uruguay 2-1.

Cruzeiro clobbered Colo-Colo 4-1.   

Kleber hit the daily double for Raposa.

Thursday Sao Paulo battles Once Caldas.
