(Amends headline, no change to text) SAO PAULO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Atletico Mineiro outclassed their city rivals Cruzeiro in the first leg of the Brazilian Cup final on Wednesday, with a goal in each half giving them a 2-0 advantage to take into the return leg in two weeks. Luan got the opener for the home side after just eight minutes from a suspiciously offside position when he stooped to head home a cross from the right. Argentine Jesus Datolo doubled Atletico's advantage in the 53rd minute when he seized on a loose ball from a long throw in to fire home. The second leg is scheduled to take place at the Mineirao stadium on Nov. 26. (Reporting by Andrew Downie; Editing by Greg Stutchbury)
