A late volley from former Argentina international striker Hernan Barcos gave Cruzeiro a 2-1 victory over Atletico Paranaense in Brazil's Serie A football championship.
Barcos timed his run at the far post to perfection, latching onto a sumptuous cross from Robinho to lash a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Aderbar Santos on Sunday, reports Xinhua news agency.
Guilherme had given Atletico the lead by converting from the penalty spot after Dede brought down Bruno Guimaraes in the box.
