Libertadores: Cienciano beats Bolognesi 1-0 to claim share of group lead

A late header from defender Carlos Solis handed Cienciano a 1-0 victory over fellow Peruvian club Coronel Bolognesi on Tuesday and gave the Cusco club a share of the Group 4 lead in the Copa Libertadores.

The victory gave Cienciano six points and tied it on points with Uruguay's Nacional. Brazil's Flamengo is next with four points, and Bolognesi with one.

Although Cienciano had the advantage in possession throughout, most of the action took place midfield until Carlos Solis scored on a pass from teammate Julio Romana in the 76th minute.

Cienciano and Bolognesi will meet again in Tacna, Peru on March 25.
