Everton ribeiro

Rio De Janeiro: Everton Soares scored one goal and set up another as Flamengo rose to second in Brazil's Serie A championship with a 3-0 away victory America Mineiro.

Everton opened the scoring by heading into the bottom-left corner after an Ayrton Lucas cross at Estadio Parque do Sabia in Uberlandia, reports Xinhua.

The visitors doubled their lead through Pedro Santos, who combined with Bruno Henrique on the counterattack before coolly slotting his shot into the bottom right corner.
