SANTOS (Reuters) - The relegation worries of Brazilian top-flight football team Cruzeiro deepened on Saturday when they surrendered an early lead to go down 4-1 away from home to Santos.

Luis Orejuela gave the Belo Horizonte side the lead after 14 minutes but a goal from Eduardo Sasha midway through the first half brought Santos level before Marinho and Yeferson Soteldo scored in quick succession in the second half.
