São Paulo finally got their season back on track with victory over Náutico. Second half goals from Jean Rolt and Hernanes enough to give the champions their second win of the season. A shock in Barueri as the promoted side handed league leaders Atlético-MG their first defeat of the season to climb to fourth in the table. Thiago Humberto and Fernandinho put the home side two up before two strike in 4 second half minutes from Diego Tardelli saw the league leaders level things. The home side though went back ahead with a second from Humberto with 6 minutes left and Marco Pimentel wrapped things up a minute later. Atlético-PR continue their climb from the foot of the table after a goal from Paulo Baier saw them overcome Corinthians. Cruzeiro continued their good form with a single goal, courtesy of Ze Carlos from the spot, to defeat Avaí to lift them to ninth. Botafogo slumped to the bottom of the table after being crushed 4-1 at home by Goiás. Felipe Menezes put Goiás ahead before Victor Simões levelled things. Felipe put Goiás ahead just before half time before Rafael Toloi and Iarley wrapped things up in the second half.
In front of a disappointing 44,500 crowd the big Rio derby between Fluminense and Flamengo ended scoreless. Adriano apologised for missing chances to give Flamengo the win, saying: "Both teams had opportunities to score, but failed. It happens sometimes. We should not say the result is bad for us." Sport moved off the bottom of the table after they beat 10-man Grêmio, with one eye on this weeks Libertadores game, 3-1 at the Ilha do Retiro. Fabiano, Elder Granja and Fumagalli scored for Emerson Leao's side, while Jonas levelled the scores momentarily before he was shown red a red card. Vitória remain third after a comfortable 4-1 win over Santo André. Elkeson put Vitória ahead just after half time and Uelliton and Roger extended the lead. Moraes bagged a consolation for Santo André before Roger completed the scoring from the spot in the last minute. Internacional joined Atlético-MG on 17 points at the top of the table after a 3-0 over Coritiba, a hat-trick from Luis Bolanos giving Inter all three points to end Coritiba's two game winning streak. It was derby day in São Paulo as well as Palmeiras and Santos met at the Palestra Itália. Obina put the home side ahead after half an hour but Robson rescued a point for the visitors 9 minutes from time.
Meanwhile in South Africa La Seleção were crowned victors of the FIFA Confederations Cup after a come from behind win over the US and A in Johannesburg. Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan put the US two up inside half an hour. A Luís Fabiano brace levelled things up before Lúcio grabbed the winner 6 minutes from time. It now means La Seleção will have to overcome a hoodoo that has never seen the Confederation Cup winners return the year after and lift the big prize.
