Argentina's Independiente advance to Copa Sudamericana final

Xinhua,November 29, 2017 Adjust font size:

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Emmanuel Gigliotti scored twice as Independiente defeated Libertad 3-1 to secure a place in the Copa Sudamericana final here on Tuesday.

The result gave the Argentine outfit a 3-2 aggregate victory in the semifinal after the Paraguayan club won last week's first leg 1-0 in Asuncion.

Teenage midfielder Ezequiel Barco opened the scoring with a 17th-minute penalty and Gigliotti doubled the hosts' lead by sliding in a first-time finish after a Maximiliano Meza cross.

Angel Cardozo headed in to put the visitors back on level terms overall before Gigliotti connected with Gaston Silva's pass to again find the net with just one touch.

Independiente will play the winner of the other semifinal between Brazil's Flamengo and Colombia's Junior in the final. Enditem
