Juan Fernando Quintero: Argentina's Racing football club secured its first international trophy in 36 years with a 3-1 victory over Brazilian side Cruzeiro in the final of Copa Sudamericana, the annual international club football competition organized since 2002 by CONMEBOL, the governing body of football in South America.

Gaston Martirena gave Racing the lead at La Olla in the Paraguayan capital Asuncion in the 15th minute when he took a touch after Juan Fernando Quintero's pass before curling an improbable 25-yard effort into the far corner on Saturday.

The Buenos Aires outfit doubled its lead five minutes later through Adrian Martinez, who slid home at the far post following Maximiliano Salas' cross from the right wing, reports Xinhua.
