Football News : Brazil: Chasing pair seize on Flu's slip

Bookmark and Share







Figueirense and Sao Paulo boosted their chase for the Campeonato summit as
third-placed Fluminense suffered a shock home defeat to America MG.

Struggling America lifted themselves off the foot of the table thanks to goals
from Kempes six minutes before half-time and Alessandro in the 79th minute,
Rafael Moura pulling one back three minutes later.

That allowed Figueirense to move level on points with Flu thanks to a 2-1
comeback win over Atletico Mineiro.

Wellington Nem and Julio Cesar scored second-half goals to turn the game around
after Werley had given Atletico the interval lead.

Seventh-placed Sao Paulo are unlikely to challenge for the title but lie just
three points further back, and five behind leaders Corinthians, with four games
to play after Luis Fabiano's double downed Avai, who slip to the bottom after
America's win.
