RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Ecuador international forward Enner Valencia scored in each half as Internacional reached the Copa Libertadores semifinals with a 2-0 home win over Bolivar on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old former West Ham and Everton forward opened the scoring for the Brazilian outfit with a powerful first-time effort after Wanderson's probing run and cross from the left wing.
Valencia again breached the Bolivian side's defense when he ran into the area and cut around his marker before curling an unstoppable shot into the far corner.
The result at Porto Alegre's Beira-Rio stadium handed Internacional a 3-0 win on aggregate.
In other quarterfinal second leg fixtures, Palmeiras will host Deportivo Pereira while Racing Club are home to Boca Juniors on Wednesday. On Thursday, Olimpia will be home to Fluminense. ■
