Two days after disposing of Wagner Mancini the Santos players were greeted by a hail of eggs by protesting fans as they arrived at the Vila Belmiro for the game against Barueri. The mood wasn't helped as Barueri took a 3-1 lead inside half an hour, with two goals coming from Val Baiano but late goals from Robson and Neymar salvaged a point for Santos. More biffo in Porto Alegre as 4 players were sent off as managerless Fluminense slumped to 19th after a 4-2 loss to Internacional. Internacional were two up inside half an hour through Sorondo and Andrezinho. The second goal coming after Fluminense's Fred was sent off for the second time in as many weeks for fighting Internacional's Magrão but it looked little more than handbags to be fair to both players. Fluminense did level things through Ruy and Dario Conca but Taison put Internacional back ahead with cracking strike 10 minutes from time, then Internacional had Gladyson sent off for second bookable offence before Diguinho for Fluminense got a deserved straight red a minute later for a shocking tackle before Taison added a second in injury time to wrap up the win.
Bottom of the table Avaí picked up a crucial away win at Goiás, second half strikes from Muriqui and Roberto lifting Avaí off the bottom of the table. Coritiba had a come from behind win over Grêmio. Jonas put the visitors ahead in the 9th minute before an absolute corker from Marcelinho levelled things just before half time before a second half strike from Areil Nahuelpan gave Coritiba the win. Thiego was sent off for Grêmio just after half time for kicking out at Marcos Aurélio. Santo André picked up their second 1-0 win within three day this time defeating Atlético-PR. Vinicius Ferreira with the goal 4 minutes into the second half. After being punted out of the Maracaña for some mid-season music concert Flamengo hosted Palmeiras and Diego Souza and José Ortigoza put the visitors 2-0 ahead. Adriano replied in the 71st minute from the spot but the Big Green held on to move up temporarily into second.
Atlético-MG returned to the top of the table after a comfortable 2-0 win over champions São Paulo. Atlético-MG got off to the perfect start when Diego Tardelli fired them ahead in the first minute of the game, Serginho Mineiro wrapped things up in the second half for the league leaders. Corinthians climed to sixth after coming out on top in a 7 goal thriller with Sport. Fabiano Pereira put Sport ahead in the 7th minute but two quick fire strikes from Ronaldo put Corinthians ahead at the break. Cristian extended the lead before two goals in 4 minutes from Vandinho suddenly levelled things. Moradei broke Sport hearts with the winner 10 minutes from time. Bottom of the table and managerless Náutico broke their 5 game losing streak with a come from behind draw against Vitória. Roger put the Vitória head with 10 minutes gone and Náutico must have feared the worst but they got rewarded with 25 minutes to go, Gilmar converting from the spot after Wallace had been sent off. Náutico remain bottom, whilst Vitória stay in fourth.
The game between Botafogo and Cruzeiro was postponed due to the latters involvement in the Libertadores final.
