Late Drama Shapes Brazil's Round 15 and Delays Benfica’s Rugby Title

Overview

• Fluminense drew 2-2 with Vitória on Saturday at the Maracanã after Kevin Serna scored in stoppage time, keeping the hosts third in the league and stretching their winless run to four matches.
• Luis Zubeldía said he does not fear being fired after loud boos from home fans and he pointed to a Copa do Brasil decider against Operário on Tuesday as the next chance to steady form.
• Vitória’s strong away display featured goals from Renato Kayzer and Renê, and Kayzer will serve a one‑match league ban for a third yellow card with left back Ramon also suspended.
• Cruzeiro came from behind to beat Bahia 2-1 on Saturday in Salvador, climbing to 10th with 19 points, while Bahia’s skid drew fresh jeers and even players said the coach and squad must improve.
• Benfica’s rugby side conceded two late tries in a 27-27 draw with CDUL, so the Divisão de Honra title will be settled on the final day, and Palmeiras stayed top of the Brasileirão after a 1-1 draw at Remo for 34 points.
