Athletico-PR and Corinthians secure key Brasileirão victories

In the 22nd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, Athletico-PR defeated Santos 2-0 at Vila Belmiro. Kevin Viveros scored both goals in the first half, propelling Athletico-PR to third place and dropping Santos into the relegation zone. Santos coach Cuca expressed concern regarding the club's limited squad and the ongoing transfer ban, which prevents new signings.

In another match, Corinthians secured a 2-0 victory against Red Bull Bragantino. Goals from Rodrigo Garro and Pedro Raul, aided by a significant error from Bragantino goalkeeper Tiago Volpi, moved Corinthians to seventh place. Despite the win, Corinthians faces injury concerns with players like André and Yuri Alberto ahead of their upcoming Copa Libertadores fixture against Rosario Central.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian U-20 national team has resumed training in Teresópolis following a 2-0 win over Bolivia, preparing for their next friendly and the upcoming South American Championship.
