Libertadores: Cruzeiro beat Estudiantes, San Lorenzo crash at Universitario
Cruzeiro were handed a tough task by Estudiantes in Thursday's Libertadores actions, but nevertheless managed to beat the Argentinians 3-0. San Lorenzo crashed to a 1-0 defeat at Universitario Lima.
The first 63 minutes at Cruzeiro versus Estudiantes went by without goals, but the Brazilians were then given a penalty kick. Fernandinho made no mistake from the spot to make it 1-0.
Kleber added a second in the 69th minute and scored another in the 73rd, but was also handed a second yellow card two minutes later and misses Cruzeiro's next Libertadores match.
A penalty caused by defender Jonathan Bottinelli in the 20th minute, earned the San Lorenzo player a red card and former Premiership midfielder Nolberto Solano converted the opportunity to give his side a slightly surprising 1-0 victory.
