BUENOS AIRES, June 1 (Reuters) - Twice South American champions Santos reached the Libertadores Cup final on Wednesday after a thrilling 3-3 draw away to Paraguay’s Cerro Porteno in Asuncion.
The Brazilian side won the semi-final tie 4-3 on aggregate having
beaten Cerro 1-0 at home in last week’s first leg.
Santos captain Edu Dracena will miss the final after being sent off in added time.
The Brazilians, champions in 1962 and 1963 in Pele’s heyday, face either Velez Sarsfield of Argentina or Penarol of Uruguay, who meet in the second leg of their tie in Buenos Aires on Thursday (0050 GMT Friday).
