Overview
- The round-32 draw at Vila Belmiro keeps Flamengo on 65 points alongside Palmeiras but behind on number of victories, denying them first place.
- Luciano scored early for São Paulo, Arrascaeta equalized from the spot, Samuel Lino put Flamengo ahead, and Ferreirinha leveled late for the hosts.
- Gonzalo Plata was sent off for a foul on Arboleda shortly after Flamengo’s second goal, with coach Filipe Luís calling recent mistakes “lethal” but refusing to blame the forward.
- Arrascaeta’s penalty was his 95th for the club, making him Flamengo’s top-scoring foreign player, while Lino ended a two-month goal drought.
- Hernán Crespo praised São Paulo’s display and the successful use of Ferreirinha as an improvised left wing, and Palmeiras’ match against Santos later Thursday could widen the gap at the top.
