BUENOS AIRES — Argentina's Racing beat Brazil's Corinthians 2-1 and advanced to its first Copa Sudamericana final. The first leg in Sao Paulo last week ended 2-2. Racing's rival at the Nov. 23 decider in Asuncion will be another Brazilian team, Cruzeiro, which reached the final after beating Argentina's Lanus 1-0 on Wednesday. Corinthians opened the scoring in Buenos Aires with an assist by Dutch striker Memphis Depay to Yuri Alberto. But Racing turned its fortunes around by converting a penalty kick in the 36th minute and three minutes later after a quick counter. Both goals came from Juan Fernando Quintero.
