BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (Reuters) - Atletico Mineiro beat Cuiaba 2-1 at home on Sunday to extend their lead at the top of Brazil’s Serie A to 11 points.

The visitors took a shock lead after two minutes when Nathan Silva’s backpass surprised goalkeeper Everson and rolled into his own goal but Atletico took just two minutes to equalize when on-form striker Hulk tapped in from close range.
