PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil: Internacional won the Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday, snatching an extra-time equalizer to draw the second leg of the final 1-1 with Estudiantes and win 2-1 on aggregate.
The Reds became the first Brazilian team to win the trophy, the region's equivalent of the UEFA Cup, in its six-year history despite being outplayed at home from much of the second leg.
Leading 1-0 from last week's first leg away from home, Internacional fell behind when Agustin Alayes scored for the Argentines midway through the second half before Nilmar scrambled the equaliser in the 115th minute.
