Internacional advance to Copa Sudamericana final

November 20, 2008

PORTO ALEGRE (SW) - Brazilian side Internacional have reached the final of the Copa Nissan Sudamericana following a 6-0 aggregate victory over Chivas de Guadalajara.

After the 0-2 win in Mexico last week, the Brazilians were again too strong at home in Porto Alegre.

Andres d’Alessandro opened the score from the penalty spot in the 20th minute and then added a second 16 minutes later.

Things got worse for the Mexicans when Medina conceded a red card in the 42nd minute, and Nilmar then made it 3-0 just before the break.

In the 71st minute, Nilmar added a second to his account for a clear and comfortable 4-0 win.

In the final, Internacional will surely face another Argentinian side as Estudiantes de la Plata and Argentinos Juniors face off in the other semi final on Thursday.
