The central defender's pressure led to a turnover in America's own half and the ball fell to Santos, who thumped a 20-yard effort into the top-left corner, Xinhua reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The result means Botafogo now has 58 points from 27 games, 12 points ahead of second-placed Bragantino, who has a game in hand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In other fixtures on Wednesday, Paranaense won 2-1 at Gremio, Cuiaba prevailed 3-0 at Coritiba, Goias won 2-0 at home to Sao Paulo, Bahia overcame Internacional 1-0 at home, and Vasco da Gama edged to a 1-0 home victory over Fortaleza.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
