MEDELLIN, March 3 (Xinhua) -- Paraguay's Olimpia advanced to the third and final phase of Copa Libertadores qualifiers by completing a 4-2 aggregate victory over the Colombian side Atletico Nacional on Thursday.

Saul Salcedo struck in the 57th minute to cancel out Andres Andrade's opener and earn the hosts a 1-1 draw on the night at Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellin.

It followed a 3-1 victory to Olimpia in last week's first leg in Paraguay.

The Asuncion-based club will now meet Brazil's Fluminense for a place in the group stage of South America's premier club competition.

In other final-phase qualifiers, Barcelona SC will clash with America Mineiro, Estudiantes confront Everton and the Strongest will duel with Universidad Catolica.
