By Rex Gowar BUENOS AIRES, April 15 (Reuters) - River Plate salvaged their Libertadores Cup dream with a 3-0 home win over San Jose of Bolivia and thanks to a 5-4 defeat for Peru's Juan Aurich by Mexico's UANL Tigres on Wednesday. The Argentine giants, who had struggled through their group with four draws and a defeat, needed to win at a packed El Monumental to have any chance of going through. They also needed at least a draw in Chiclayo where Juan Aurich faced a reserve Tigres side who helped produce the most exciting match of the group. "Now it's a different game in the last 16, do or die and we'll take whoever comes, even Boca (Juniors)," River coach Marcelo Gallardo told Fox Sports referring to his team's arch-rivals who are likely opponents as one of the best qualifiers.
