D'Alessandro reaches final

by Andres Garavaglia , 20 November 2008

With great performances from Andres D'Alessandro and Nilmar, Internacional defeated 4-0 Guadalajara Chivas in the Copa Sudamericana second leg semi-final match played in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

A week ago in Mexico, the Brazilians won 2-0 so with these two very good results, Internacional are now the favourites to win the trophy.

Inter defeated Boca Juniors in the quarter finals but will now face another Argentinian side in the final as the two great South American superpowers clash at this level for the first time.

Estudiantes or Argentinos Juniors await the Copa Libertadores champions after a 1-1 draw in the first leg. The La Plata second leg is live on Setanta.

Regarding the victory for Internacional, D'Alessandro opened the scoring on 20 minutes from the penalty spot after that Juan Ocampo fouled him. D'Alessandro scored again on 36 minutes with a superb free kick that flew into the net.

Nilmar added the third goal for Inter on 44 minutes with a header after a corner from Taison. The second goal of Nilmar was scored on 71 minutes, when he neatly fired home.

The speed of Nilmar and control of the ball by D'Alessandro were real nightmares for the Mexican defence and ensured they were the best players in the game.
