Boca Juniors advanced to their 10th Copa Libertadores final on Thursday after a goalless draw in their semifinal second leg against Universidad de Chile.

The Argentinians, who won last week's first leg 2-0 at the Bombonera in Buenos Aires, will now meet Corinthians, who defeated Santos in the other semifinal.

Goalkeeper Augustin Orion was the hero for Boca at Santiago's Estadio Nacional, frustrating the home side with a series of fine saves.

Universidad was also denied by the woodwork on four occasions.

The first leg of the final will be played in Buenos Aires next Wednesday with the decisive return match set for July 4 at Sao Paulo's Pacaembu Stadium on July 4.

Boca will be aiming to win the title for a seventh time while Brazil's Corinthians will be making their first appearance in the final of South America's most prized club tournament.
