CARACAS, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Peru's Melgar secured a berth in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores by completing a 3-2 aggregate victory over Caracas FC in their qualifying playoff here on Tuesday.

Melgar saw their 2-0 lead after the first leg disappear following goals either side of halftime from Eduardo Ferreira and Richard Celis.

But Bernardo Cuesta put the visitors ahead again after a smart turn and finish from 12 yards in the 89th minute.
