Jesus Datolo scored in the 89th minute to give Atletico a 1-0 victory and lift them to within 11 points of Corinthians, who can secure the title by winning any of their final four matches as they top the standings with 76 points. Corinthians require just two points from their final 12 to lift the trophy.
