RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Former Brazil striker Fred struck a late goal as Atletico Mineiro recorded a 3-2 home victory over Atletico Goianiense in the Brazilian Serie A championship on Thursday.
Andrigo put the visitors ahead just before the half-hour mark after Atletico Mineiro defender Fabio Santos cancelled out Diego Rosa's opener.
Midfielder Luan equalized just after halftime before Fred combined with former national teammate Robinho before firing a shot into the top corner.
The result lifted Atletico Mineiro to 10th in the standings with five matches remaining, and maintained the team's remote chance of securing a 2018 Copa Libertadores berth.
In other matches on Thursday, Chapecoense drew 2-2 at Sao Paulo and Coritiba held Fluminense to a 2-2 draw in Rio de Janeiro.
