SAO PAULO (Reuters) - A first-half double from young striker Evanilson gave Fluminense a 2-1 victory over Corinthians on the final day of the season in Brazil on Sunday.

The 20-year-old, who was playing just his third senior game for the Rio de Janeiro club, scored in the eighth and 28th minutes and although Gustavo pulled one back 18 minutes into the second half it was not enough to stop the visitors taking all three points.
