Internacional didn’t take long to get on the score-sheet, when Fabricio Bustos opened the rout at the 36 minute mark to see out the first half 1-0.

Internacional continued to pile on the pressure in the second and were rewarded, with a goal from Alemao in the 71st minute. Internacional then scored once more and increased their advantage thanks to a goal from Carlos De Pena just before the final whistle with a final score of 3-0.

Substitutions for Internacional included Pedro Henrique, Braian Romero, Liziero and Alan Patrick for Mauricio, Alemao, Johnny and Wanderson, repectively.
