PORTO ALEGRE, March 3 (Xinhua) -- Uruguay striker Diego Forlan struck twice as Internacional progressed to the final of Brazil's Piratina Cup with a 2-0 victory over Esportivo on Sunday.
The 33-year-old netted either side of half-time at the Centenario Stadium to take his 2013 tally to six goals from six games for the Porto Alegre club.
Internacional will now meet Sao Luiz, who defeated Caxias 2-1 on Saturday, in next Sunday's final.
"We are working well together as a team and I was lucky to score two goals but we have to keep things in perspective," Forlan said after the match.
"It is a good feeling to reach the final. Now we have to focus because we have a difficult game ahead of us. We have a whole week to prepare."
