SAO PAULO, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- Cruzeiro secured their second consecutive Copa do Brasil triumph on Wednesday by completing a 3-1 aggregate victory over Corinthians in the final.

Robinho Signorini opened the scoring from long range before Jadson converted from the penalty spot after Thiago Neves brought down Ralf in the area.

Uruguayan midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta made it 2-1 on the night by deftly chipping a shot over goalkeeper Cassio following a counterattack.

The result at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo followed a 1-0 victory in last week's first leg at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.

It means Cruzeiro now earn an automatic berth in next year's Copa Libertadores, South America's top club competition.?
