Overview
- Fluminense, which beat Palmeiras 3-2 on Saturday at the Maracanã, snapped an eight-game winless streak under interim coach Marcão and saw Germán Cano score the stoppage-time winner.
- Gustavo Gómez returned from injury to open the scoring for Palmeiras but the club kept its place atop the table on 48 points as coach Abel Ferreira acknowledged the team is 'not well' and must recover before an away Libertadores tie in Asunción.
- Chapecoense and Bahia played a wild 3-3 draw that left Chapecoense as the league bottom team with the worst attack and defense and kept Bahia inside the top-five mix on 34 points after the round.
- São Paulo drew 1-1 with Coritiba, extending its winless run to nine matches, provoking fan protests at the MorumBIS and increasing pressure on coach Dorival Jr and the squad ahead of midweek Sul-Americana action.
- Vitória remains in a serious scoring drought with four matches without a goal and the second-worst attack after 22 rounds, a pattern that heightens relegation risk as the season passes its midpoint.
