Rio de Janeiro, May 23, A first-half goal from forward Deyverson Acosta gave Cuiaba a 1-0 away victory over Cruzeiro in Brazil's Serie A championship.

Acosta put the visitors ahead by meeting Fernando Sobral's cross from the right wing and heading home at the near post on Monday.

Cruzeiro controlled 66 per cent of the possession, completed almost twice as many passes as their rivals and had eight shots on target compared to Cuiaba's two.

But the Belo Horizonte outfit were unable to capitalize on their dominance as they suffered their third league defeat of the season so far, a Xinhua report said.
