Jonathan Viera scored twice as Valencia beat Inter Milan 4-0 Sunday in the International Champions Cup.

Ever Banega and Jonas also scored to help Valencia advance to the fifth-place match against Everton on Tuesday at Miami. Inter Milan will face Juventus for seventh place in the preceding match that night.

Banega put Valencia ahead in the seventh minute with a right-footed shot into the upper right corner. Viera made it 2-0 in the 34th after Banega's corner was knocked out of the area.

Jonas took a pass from Viera in the 56th, dribbled around keeper Samir Handovic and tapped it in.

Viera sealed the win in the final minute of regulation time after Jonas' kick was blocked by substitute keeper Luca Castellazzi and the ball went right to Viera.

Earlier, Kevin De Bruyne and Andre Schuerlle scored to lead Chelsea past AC Milan 2-0 on Sunday to advance to the final of the International Champions Cup.

Chelsea will face Real Madrid in the final at Miami on Wednesday. AC Milan will take on the Los Angeles Galaxy in the third-place game earlier the same night.

De Bruyne opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 29th minute when he took a pass from Eden Hazard, hit the crossbar and then knocked the rebound across inside the left post.

Schuerlle sealed the win in the second minute of stoppage time, taking a pass from Victor Mosses from the left side and sending the ball inside the right post.
