Corinthians climbed to third in the Campeonato Paulista with a 2-0 win over Mogi Mirim on Thursday.
Visitors Mogi Mirim held Corinthians at bay until the 72nd minute at the Estadio Alfredo Schurig, before Portugal centre-forward Liedson broke the deadlock for the hosts.
The former Sporting Lisbon man put the result beyond doubt when he struck again to claim a brace on 86 minutes.
The win lifts Corinthians above Mirassol and Sao Paulo and into third on the table, two points behind second placed Santos and three behind leaders Palmeiras.
