2014-05-27来源:Xinhuanet

PORTO ALEGRE, May 25 (Xinhua) -- Defending champions Cruzeiro moved to the top of Brazil's Serie A championship on Sunday after recovering from a goal down to win 3-1 at Internacional.

Wellington opened the scoring for the hosts at the Centenario stadium before Ricardo Goulart equalized on the stroke of halftime.

Bolivia international striker Marcelo Moreno then gave his side the lead and former Corinthians winger Willian made it 3-1 two minutes from time.

Moreno, who is on loan from Cruzeiro's Serie A rivals Gremio, is now the league's top scorer with five goals from as many matches.

"I am trying to gel as best I can with the team. They really deserved this result," the former Wigan Athletic player said.

"We have been in great form and I am happy to have been able to help the team."

In other matches on Sunday, Atletico Paranaense defeated Coritiba 2-0, Figueirense lost 1-0 at home to Goias, Flamengo held Santos to a 0-0 draw, Corinthians won 4-1 at Sport, Atletico Mineiro drew 0-0 at home to Criciuma, Vitoria held Botafogo 1-1 and Chapecoense beat Palmeiras 2-0.
