Muslera shines as Estudiantes reaches Copa Libertadores final

Rio De Janeiro, Oct 23 (UNI) Fernando Muslera saved three penalties as 10-man Estudiantes advanced to the Copa Libertadores final by beating Flamengo 3-2 on penalties.

Estudiantes was handed a numerical disadvantage in the 50th minute of the semifinal second leg when Baltasar Rodriguez was dismissed for a second rash challenge within 15 minutes on Thursday.
But both sides failed to score in the allotted 90 minutes at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium following a goalless draw in the first leg. Muslera then saved spot kicks from Jorginho, Lucas Paqueta and Bruno Henrique in the shootout as Estudiantes booked a place in the final for the
first time since 2009, according to Xinhua.

The Argentine club will meet Brazil's Palmeiras in the title decider at Montevideo's Centenario Stadium on Nov. 28. Both teams are aiming to win South America's premier club competition for
a fourth time.
