Santos hopes alive

Rio de Janeiro: Santos kept their Brazilian Serie A football league title hopes alive as Bruno Henrique fired them to a 1-0 win over Atletico Paranaense. The winner came just after the half-hour mark when Atletico goalkeeper Weverten punched clear a long-range shot from Jean Mota, only for Henrique to thump in the rebound Saturday. The result at the Vila Belmiro stadium lifted the eight-time Serie A champions to 44 points from 25 matches, nine points behind leaders Corinthians. Atletico remained eighth with 34 points.
