Internacional stay in Brazil's Serie A top-four race

Xinhua, November 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Internacional kept alive their hopes of a top-four finish with a 1-0 victory over Ponte Preta in Brazil's Serie A championship on Saturday.

Vitinho broke the deadlock with an 88th-minute strike at the Beira-Rio stadium.

The result left Internacional sixth, equal on points with fourth-placed Santos with four matches remaining.

In Sao Paulo, Corinthians edged closer to the title with a 2-1 defeat of Coritiba. Jadson and Lucca were on the scoresheet for the hosts while Negueba netted for Coritiba.

Corinthians are now 14 points clear of second-placed Atletico Mineiro, who must win all of their remaining matches to have a chance of being champions.

In other matches on Saturday, Atletico Paranaense beat Avai 2-1 and Fluminense fell 2-3 at home to Chapecoense. Endi
