Rio De Janeiro, Oct. 15 -- Atletico Mineiro took a step toward qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana final with a 3-0 home win over Montevideo City Torque.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Reinier Jesus opened the scoring in the 37th minute by side-footing home after Victor Hugo's pass on Wednesday.
The hosts doubled the advantage five minutes later when former Everton winger Bernard dribbled 25 yards before lashing a low drive that beat goalkeeper Franco Torgnascioli at his near post.
Thiago Borbas put the result beyond doubt 10 minutes from time with a sliding first-time effort from eight yards after Renan Lodi's cross, according to Xinhua.
