Later in the afternoon, Botafogo and Coritiba played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in Rio de Janeiro.

Two derbies lit up the start of Sunday evening.

At the Maracanã, Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-1, with Pedro shining, and made a big jump in the standings.

And in Itaquera, Corinthians, down to nine men after two red cards, held Palmeiras to a 0-0 draw, but moved dangerously close to the bottom four after eight Brasileirão matches without a win.

Finally, at Mineirão, Cruzeiro came from behind to beat RB Bragantino 2-1 and, although still in the bottom four, is already starting to see a “light at the end of the tunnel” after its second win of the campaign.

That is because Rubro-Negro has a better goal difference than São Paulo, Fluminense, and Bahia (+8 x +6 x +5 x +5).

And in the bottom four, Cruzeiro is showing signs it could leave the “danger zone,” while Corinthians is on the “brink of chaos.”
