Internacional took care of business at Porto Alegre. Colorado took it to Chivas 3-2 to win the Copa Libertadores.

Chivas scored the first goal of the match in the 42^nd minute. Fabian ripped the twines for a 1-0 Guadalajara lead.

The opening marker by Fabian sent shock waves through the fans at Porto Alegre.

Globo Esporte put it this way- Não podia ser verdade. Quando Fabián subiu dentro da área colorada e emendou um voleio, simplesmente não podia ser verdade. Simplesmente não podia ser verdade aquela bola entrando no canto direito de Renan. Não podia ser verdade aquela rede balançando enquanto os jogadores do Chivas corriam de um lado para o outro, eufóricos, incrédulos. Aos 42 minutos do primeiro tempo, o time mexicano largou na frente. A zaga bobeou, permitiu o cruzamento, permitiu a conclusão perfeita de Fabián. Não podia ser verdade. E era a mais pura e dolorida verdade.

Internacional was unfazed by this and went on a run scoring the next three goals in succession to put this baby out of reach.

Rafael Sobis goal in the 61^stminute righted the ship for Internacional.

Leandro Damiao scored the goal ahead goal in the 75^th minute.

Giuliano scored the match winner in the 89^th minute.

Game, set, and match to Internacional.

Globo Esporte had this to say- Tem sujeito que nasceu para transcender o conceito de jogador de futebol. Tem sujeito que nasceu para ser mais do que um cara bom de bola. Tem sujeito que nasceu para fazer dois gols no Morumbi e ser herói. Que nasceu para, quatro anos depois, marcar no Beira-Rio e ser mais herói ainda. Rafael Sobis, colorado de coração, apaixonado pelo clube, é um mito para o Inter. Foi dele, aos 16 minutos do segundo tempo, o gol que abriu o título colorado.

Chivas added a cosmetic goal in the final moments to make it a respectable 3-2 final score.

Internacional has already advanced to the FIFA World Cup Finals due to the fact the Guadalajara is a member of CONCAF and therefore can’t win the South American Copa Libertadores title.

This is the second Copa title for Brasilian side Internacional.

Colorado won the title in 2006 when Internacional beat archrival Sao Paulo 4-3.

Colorado made it to the Copa Libertadores finals in 1980 but they lost to Uruguayan side Nacional 1-0.

Kudos to Internacional for winning the Copa Libertadores.

The semifinals of the Copa Libertadores got underway on Tuesday. Universidad de Chile took on Mexican side Chivas at Aztec stadium in Mexico City.

The first leg of this semifinal ended in a one all tie.

The Chilean side put up a good fight in the end Chivas had most of the second half possession but Universidad de Chile’s defense was good enough to hang on for the tie.

Chile scored first when Chivas defender Hector Reynoso couldn’t clear the header. This resulted in a perfect placed head ball by Universidad de Chile’s Juan Manuel Olivera to mate Rafael Olarra. Olarra nailed the noggin shot into the back of the net in the 47^th minute.

Chivas found the equalizer in the 51^st minute.

Omar Arellano Riveron slipped home the winner off a great header pass from mate Omar Bravo.

The second leg takes place in Santiago, Chile August 3^rd.

Wednesday other Copa Libertadores semifinal features two Brasileiro sides Sao Paulo and Internacional.

Both Tricolor and Colorado both hate each other’s guts.

This will be a blood bath.

Sao Paulo enters into this Copa encounter a hurting puppy.

Tricolor has lost three out of their last four Campeonato matches.

Internacional is coming off a huge win 1-0 over Flamengo on Sunday.

Colorado has four straight Campeonato encounters.

This will be a good one.
