Angel Romero and Caca scored second half goals as Corinthians recovered from a goal down to beat Criciuma 2-1 in Brazil's Serie A championship on Tuesday.

Claudinho put Criciuma ahead at Corinthians Arena with a long-range strike just before halftime.

Paraguay international forward Romero equalized by meeting a Hugo Farias cross from the left wing with a superb first-time volley at the far post.

The hosts took the lead just after the hour when Caca latched onto Igor Coronado's delivery from a corner with a header that flew beyond the reach of goalkeeper Gustavo Pinto.

The result leaves Corinthians 17th in the 20-team standings with 15 points from 17 outings, two points behind 14th-placed Criciuma.
