RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Atletico Mineiro moved to second in Brazil's Serie A standings on Sunday with a 4-0 home win over reigning champions Flamengo.

Central defender Gustavo Henrique gifted the hosts an early lead by inadvertently turning the ball into his own net. Keno, Eduardo Sasha and Matias Zaracho also scored as Atletico notched its 11th win of the campaign.

The result at the Mineirao meant Jorge Sampaoli's men displaced Flamengo in second spot. The Rio de Janeiro outfit, who has not won in the league since October 18, dropped to third.

In Porto Alegre, Coritiba twice trailed but rallied on both occasions to earn a 2-2 draw with leaders Internacional. Yuri Alberto and Nonato netted for the hosts while Giovanni Oliveira and Jose Chagas were on target for the visitors.

In Salvador, Rodriguinho converted a 99th-minute penalty to hand Bahia a 1-0 victory over Botafogo. Bahia rose to 14th in the standings while Botafogo sunk into the relegation zone with just three wins from 19 matches.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Santos drew 1-1 at Bragantino, Palmeiras won 1-0 at Vasco da Gama and Atletico Goianiense drew 1-1 at home to Corinthians. Enditem
