体坛英语新闻：Souza strike returns Sao Paulo to top of Brazil's Serie A

SAO PAULO, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- A second-half goal from former Brazil international striker Diego Souza gave Sao Paulo a 1-0 win over Bahia on Saturday and lifted the six-time champions to the top of the Serie A standings.

Souza broke the deadlock with a sweetly struck 60th-minute volley after Nene's cross from the left at Morumbi Stadium.

It was the 33-year-old's eighth goal from 20 league matches this season as the Tricolor notched their 14th victory of the campaign to usurp Internacional at the head of the standings.

Internacional can reclaim top spot with a victory over their Porto Alegre rivals Gremio on Sunday.

Meanwhile Cruzeiro held hosts Sport Recife to a goalless draw in Saturday's other early match.
