Buenos Aires, Argentina (My Sportsbook) - Argentina's Arsenal won its first title in the club's 50-year history Wednesday, winning the Copa Sudamericana on away goals after tying Mexico's America on aggregate, 4-4. Arsenal won the first leg of the two-game, aggregate series 3-2, and trailed the second leg by two goals until Martin Andrizzi scored in the 83rd in a 2-1 loss Wednesday. Andrizzi's goal leveled the series at 4-4, and Arsenal won the title because of the three goals it scored in the first leg at America. America took the early lead Wednesday on an own goal by Arsenal's Christian Diaz in the 18th, then went up 2-0 in the 64th when Juan Silva scored. Had America held onto the two-goal lead, it would have captured the title on aggregate.
