Copa Libertadores: San Lorenzo 5 Bolivar 0

Mauro Matos and Emmanuel Mas set up the first-leg win with first-half headers at their Estadio Pedro Bidegain home.

Juan Ignacio Mercier and Julio Buffarini added goals in the second half to go with another from Mas to see the Argentine side take control of the semi-final tie.

Edgardo Bauza's hosts needed just six minutes to capitalise on the Bolivians' poor marking and organisation.

Romagnoli's free-kick from the right was well weighted and Mas, in plenty of space in the area, headed in to make it 2-0.

Mercier added a third in the 70th minute with a neat finish before Buffarini, and Mas again, all-but sealed San Lorenzo's place in the final.

Buffarini's goal was a stunner, taking a touch before firing a powerful 30-yard effort past Quinonez, and Mas completed the scoring soon after.
