    In Colombia we found out who will play in the finals of the Apertura. It will be Atlético Nacional of Medellín against Junior of Barranquilla. Junior got past capital side Millonarios and Atlético Nacional beat Santa Fe.

    In Argentina River Plate won and went top. The win against bottom of the Promedios, Argentinos Juniors makes them favourites to win the league as they play Quilmes at home next week.

    But Quilmas should put up a fight. Last night they beat Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata 2 x 0. Gimnasia were top but they look like they have thrown it away now. We were linked with the Gimnasia keeper Fernando Monetti but look at the mistake he makes here. Heartbreaking for him.

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEy669pU9zE"]Quilmes 2 - Gimnasia La Plata 0 - YouTube[/ame]

    Gimnasia's city rivals Estudiantes de la Plata gave themselves a chance to win the league if River slip up with a good 3 x 0 win against last seasons champions San Lorenzo.

    A lot of rumours about Ney Franco taking over at Flamengo. Franco is a good manager who won a Copa do Brasil when he was last at Flamengo but I don't think Jayme should be sacked. He has a very limited squad, doing better with it that most people expected and he is Flamengo all the way. He, like all over coaches in Brazil hasn't been given a chance.

    Ney Franco is the new manager of Flamengo and will sign until 2015

    Flamengo have resorted to Ney Franco to replace Jayme de Almeida. Following the 1 x 1 draw in the clássico with Bahia, the technician left Vitória to return to the Carioca Club, where he won the 2006 Copa do Brasil and the 2007 Carioca before being released by the biggest team in Brazilian football. His contract will probably be until the end of 2015.

    The first negotiations with Ney Franco happened on Sunday before the clássico with Fluminense. The coach of Vitória had gone to the Ba-Vi knowing the proposal of Carioca club who had made ​​contact with his agent Nick Arcuri. Earlier on Monday, he announced his resignation from the Bahia club. The expectation is that the official announcement will be made ​​on Tuesday.

    Ney Franco is still in Salvador to negotiate the last details of his departure from Vitória. In his first spell at Flamengo he played 74 games with 33 wins, 17 draws and 24 defeats. At the time, he "sinned" by signing a number of players from Ipatinga FC, which did not work out.

    Early on Monday afternoon Jayme de Almeida had not yet been notified of the dismissal. In a poll conducted by GloboEsporte.com, 61% of Internet users who participated wanted the manager to stay.

    "No one has spoken to me. I'm going to the beach" - said Jayme during a quick telephone call, ignoring any speculation surrounding his departure from the job.

    Jayme de Almeida may still remain at Flamengo in another function. As manager of the senior team, he won the Copa do Brasil in 2013 and the 2014 Carioca. In 53 matches there was 28 wins, 14 draws and 11 defeats. He has a contract until the end of 2015 and the club will have to pay a penalty for firing him.

    No Brazilians left. Cruzeiro drew 1 x 1 with San Lorenzo and exit 2 x 1 on aggregate. First time there will be no Brazilian team in the final since 2004 (Once Caldes beat Boca Juniors) and the first time since 1991 that no Brazilians made it to the semi-finals (that year it was Boca Juniors, Colo-Colo, Olimpia and Atlético Nacional).

    Nacional Asunción kept the Paraguayan charge going. 0 x 0 draw gets them to the semifinals for the first time. Becoming only the fifth Paraguayan team to reach the semi's (along with Olimpia, Cerro Porteño, Libertad and Guaraní).

    Bolívar and Defensor Sporting both through.

    Bolívar won 1 x 0 on the night against Lanús. The quality of the game was pretty poor, with very little going right for either team. The worst of which was Juanmi Callejón (José Callejón's twin brother) who couldn't do anything right. Couldn't play a pass, couldn't cross and couldn't shot. Even their goal was poor, Gerardo Yecerotte unable to score straight away only to find Juan Arce in so much space because the Lanús defence was so bad it didn't move.

    Lanús weren't much better, unable to do much they got angry and Carlos Izquierdoz got sent off for punching a player in the chest. They had no ideas and couldn't escape on the break because of the altitude.

    Defensor Sporting beat Atlético Nacional 1 x 0 and 3 x 0 overall. Very convincing throughout the tournament.

    Semi's are...

    Nacional Asunción x Defensor Sporting
    San Lorenzo x Bolívar

    And I'm positive the final will be San Lorenzo x Defensor Sporting and the 'La Copa se mira y no se toca' will continue.

    Well, remember that I have bet on Defensor and Bolívar, so...

    But San Lorenzo seems to be blessed to win, after that shot in which the ball hit the bar, passed though the whole line, hit the other bar and did not enter, they have lucky at their side... and the pope.

    Flamengo are just awful. Can't create any chances against this defence.

    Getting Ney Franco was meant to do what? He still has the same limited players.

    * it, watching River instead...
