Love nets brace in Corinthians’ romp
Curitiba (Brazil): Former Brazil international footballer Vagner Love scored on either side of halftime as Corinthians extended their lead at the top of Serie A standings with a 4-1 victory over Atletico Paranaense here.
Midfielder Renato Augusto also netted a brace for the visitors while Bruno Mota was on target for Atletico at Arena da Baixada here on Sunday. Corinthians are now eight points clear at the top after second-placed Atletico Mineiro fell 1-4 to Sport Recife, as per reports.
In Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo’s poor form continued with a 0-1 home loss to Internacional, a result that all but ends their hopes of a top-four finish.
Meanwhile, 10-man Sao Paulo salvaged a 2-2 home draw against Vasco da Gama thanks to a late Rodrigo Caio strike. The hosts were forced to play the entire second half with a man less after Matheus Reis was shown a second yellow for a bad tackle.
In other matches, Chapecoense won 3-2 at Gremio, Santos beat Goias 3-1 and Ponte Preta overcame Coritiba 3-0.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
