CURITIBA, Brazil (Reuters) - Atletico Mineiro beat Athletico Paranaense 2-1 on Wednesday to win the Copa do Brasil 6-1 on aggregate and secure a rare league and cup double in Brazil.

Atletico, who lifted their first league title in 50 years at the start of December, won the final's first leg 4-0 at home last Sunday and were in no danger of losing that advantage at a packed stadium in Curitiba.
