MONTEVIDEO, July 1 (Reuters) - Striker Mauro Boselli scored twice to give Estudiantes a 2-1 away win over Nacional of Uruguay on Wednesday and a place in the Libertadores Cup final.

The Argentine side, who won the title three years in a row from 1968 to 1970, went through 3-1 on aggregate.

Boselli gave Estudiantes the lead in the 53rd minute of the semi-final second leg at the Centenario, before Alexander Medina equalised in the 76th.

Boselli netted the winner in stoppage time.

Estudiantes will meet the winners of Thursday's all-Brazilian semi-final between Gremio and Cruzeiro, who lead 3-1 from the first leg, in the final.
