Juan Fernando Quintero scored twice as Argentina's Racing Club advanced to the Copa Sudamericana final on Thursday with a 2-1 home victory over Brazilian side Corinthians.

Yuri Alberto opened the scoring for the visitors when he latched onto Memphis Depay's superb back heel before slotting his shot into the far corner from a tight angle.

Quintero equalized from the penalty spot following Jose Martinez's handball, and the Colombian put his side ahead three minutes later with a cool finish after running onto an Adrian Martinez through ball.

The result at El Cilindro gave Racing a 4-3 win on aggregate following a 2-2 draw in last week's first leg of their semifinal in Sao Paulo.

The Buenos Aires outfit will meet Cruzeiro in the final in Paraguay's capital Asuncion on November 23. The Brazilian side advanced by overcoming Lanus 2-1 on aggregate in the other semifinal.
