Brasileirão Série A 2011 - round 6

Highlights from round 6 of the 2011 Brasileirão Série A championship.

Match reports

Corinthians bagged the result of the weekend with a 5-0 demolition of leaders São Paulo, to destroy the only 100% record in the division and close the gap at the top to two points with a game in hand.

Flamengo hannered Atlétco Mineiro 4-1 to maintain their unbeaten start to the season and Internacional also enjoyed a convincing 4-1 victory against Figueirense.

Cruzeiro clambered away from the relegation places after recording their first win of the campaign with a 2-1 home win against Coritiba.

Avaí and Atlético Paranaense both lost again and look as if they would soon be cut adrift at the bottom of the table. Santos also slipped down into the relegation places having missed their game after their Copa Libertadores win meaning that they have two games in hand to get themselves out of trouble.

Emerson dos caños contra São Paulo

On Sunday 26 June 2011 Corinthians hosted São Paulo in the 6th round of the Brasileirão 2011 tournament.

Match reports

The other big winners were Atlético Mineiro who cruised to a 3-0 victory against Atlético Paranaense.

Figueirense made a decent return to the top flight with a 1-0 win against Cruzeiro, who have gone from the most eyecatching side in the group stages of Copa Libertadores 2011 to a team that have suffered three defeats in their last four matches. América Mineiro were the other top flight newboys to record a win beating fellow promotees Bahia 2-1. Coritiba did not enjoy their return to Serie A after suffering a 0-1 home defeat against Atlético Goianiense, the winner was a curious mix of route one football and neat interplay between the forward line.

2010 champions Fluminense suffered a 0-2 home defeat to São Paulo. 2010 runners-up Corinthians picked up three valuable points with a 1-2 away win at Grêmio, the hosts established the lead from the penalty spot but Corinthians equalised after an outrageous dive from Liédson who then scored the winner with an acrobatic finish from a flicked on long-throw.

Luiz Felipe Scolari's Palmeiras side won their opening game 1-0 against Botafogo thanks to a cracking second half goal from Kléber.

Santos and Internacional were the only sides to draw their game, Kerrison put the Copa Libertadores semi-finalists ahead from the penalty spot but Zé Roberto equalised a few minutes later to secure the 1-1 draw.
