Corinthians beated Atlético Goianense 2-1 on Thursday at Neo Quimica Arena. Both teams came from defeats in their previous league games.

Corinthians are now in 4th place, with 47 points from 28 matches, while Goianense sit in 19th, with 22 points from 28.

Corinthians started strong and were rewarded, when Roger Guedes found the net in the 12th minute. However, their celebrations were kept brief, as Wellington Rato equalised for Goianense, 17 minutes in, ending the first half 1-1.

Corinthians continued to pile on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded, when Yuri Alberto found the net just before the final whistle, sealing a 2-1 victory for the home side.
