RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 11 -- Coritiba stunned Botafogo 5-0 on Sunday as the latter continued to struggle as a visiting team, while Flamengo kept its winless streak to seven games in this year's Brazilian Championship.
On the road in the 23rd round, Botafogo lost five out of nine games as visiting team while Coritiba celebrated another home win, totaling seven out of 12 games at the Couto Pereira stadium.
Coritiba's first goal came in the 43rd minute when Tcheco drove a corner kick to a wide-open Emerson who headed the ball past keeper Jefferson and into the Botafogo goal.
Coritba kept up its offensive pressure and added to its lead in the 55th minute when Marcos Aurelio converted a penalty kick.
Bill scored his team's third goal in the 64th minute, followed by Rafinha in the 80th minute and Everton Costa in the 88th minute.
The result leaves Botafogo in fourth place with 40 points. Coritiba's impressive win improves the team to ninth place with 31 points.
Despite its home advantage against Atletico-PR, Flamengo stumbled to a 2-1 loss, marking its seventh straight game without a win and places head coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo's job in question.
Atletico-PR opened up a two-goal lead before Flamengo was able to respond. Heracles scored the game's opening goal in the 39th minute and Guerron chipped the ball over keeper Felipe's head and into the goal in the 1st minute of the second half.
