Peñarol through to the group stages

Peñarol secured their passage to the group stages of the 2012 Copa Libertadores with a 1-1 draw against Caracas in Venezuela last night.

Caracas needed a miracle to go through after losing the first-leg 4-0 in Montevideo but never looked like troubling Fabian Carini in the opening stages of the game.
