Internacional scrapes late penalty win

Alerrandro's stoppage-time spot-kick seals a narrow victory.

In a tight Serie A encounter, Internacional edged past Coritiba with a solitary goal from Alerrandro's penalty deep into stoppage time. Despite Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a comfortable 4-0 win, the match proved far more cagey, though the call for a home victory was ultimately correct.
