Jefferson Savarino scored twice as Brazil's Botafogo crushed Uruguay's Penarol 5-0 in their Copa Libertadores semi-final, first-leg on Wednesday.
All five goals came in a blistering second-half display as the Rio team effectively killed off the tie ahead of next week's return leg in Montevideo and all but booked their place in their first Libertadores final.
After Atletico Mineiro beat Argentina's River Plate 3-0 on Tuesday there is now the real prospect of an all-Brazilian final on November 30 in Buenos Aires for the South American club title.
Botafogo were on top from the outset but their play lacked tempo and they struggled to break down the low block from Penarol.
