BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - David Trezeguet fulfilled another dream when he scored the match-winning goals, his first in the Libertadores Cup, in Newell's Old Boys' 4-2 victory over Nacional on Wednesday.

The Group Six match at the Centenario in Montevideo was marred, however, by fighting between Nacional fans and police that left 13 officers hurt and 38 people arrested, according to a Uruguayan Interior ministry statement.
