SAO PAULO (Reuters) - An own goal from Iago Maidana and a second from striker Jo gave Corinthians a 2-1 win over Sport on Thursday and their second league victory in Brazil’s Serie A season.

Maidana turned a Gustavo Silva cross into his own goal seconds before half time and then Jo showed quick reflexes to stick out a foot and connect with a corner seven minutes into the second period.
