Gremio players celebrate their opening goal

Brazilian giants Gremio are still on course for a spot in the next round of the Copa Libertadores following a 1-2 win at Aurora Cochabamba of Bolivia.

Jonas put Gremio in the lead after 42 minutes but was also sent off just before the hour mark. By then, Derlis Paredes had already levelled for the home side.

But the winning goal came with about three minutes to play, and was scored by Tcheco.

Gremio lead Group 7 with seven points from three games, followed by Colombian side Boyacá Chicó with six. Universidad de Chile have four and Aurora seem to be on their way out with zero points.
