Fluminense's season goes from bad to ratshit after yet another defeat despite a change of manager. It was looking good when Ruy put Flu ahead 2 minutes into the second half but strikes from Ramalho, Julio César, Felipe and Iarley gave Goiás the points. Palmeiras bought Santo André's winning run to and end with a 1-0 victory at the Palestra Itália. Diego Souza slammed home the winner with 23 minutes on the clock to put the Big Green level on points at the top of the table with Atlético-MG who were held to a goalless draw at Vitória.
Ronaldo returned to his first club, Cruzeiro, with Corinthians. It was the first time he'd ever faced them since leaving for Eindhoven all those years ago. Jorge Henrique put Corinthians ahead but five minutes later Ronaldo missed a penalty. He made up for it 22 minutes from time by doubling the lead. Kléber reduced the defecit with 6 minutes to go but Cruzeiro were defenitely showing signs of a hangover from the Libertadores defeat. No drama at derby day in Curitiba where Atlético-PR and Coritiba played out the second 0-0 draw of the weekend. In Porto Alegre the 377th Gre-Nal went the way of the home side. Nilmar put Inter ahead in the 25th minute with a cool left foot finish. Souza equalised for Grêmio 11 minutes later with a cracking free kick form 25 yards out and Maxi López secured the points for Grêmio, heading in after a shot had been blocked on the line. Another derby, this time at the Morumbi where São Paulo took on Santos. Wellington putting São Paulo ahead with a header but the lead lasted less than a minute with Roni equalising for Santos, who named Vanderlei Luxemburgo as their new coach today. Washington won it for São Paulo 5 minutes into the second half, firing home from 10 yards out. Avaí's mini revival continued as they picked up their second win in as many games this time at Sport. Igor put Sport ahead but a minute latAller Avaí were level thanks to an own goal from Dude. Roberto put Avaí ahead in the second half and Luis Ricardo wrapped things up and suddenly Avaí have hauled themselves out of the relegation zone. Barueri's dream season continues as they climb to 5th thanks to Val Baiano's four goal haul against Náutico. There were two penalties in Val Baiano's haul as he becomes the leading scorer in Série A. And finally another derby, this time at the Maracaña where Flamengo and Botafogo faced off. Alessandro put the visitors ahead in the 35th minute after follwing up from a free kick but Adriano headed Flamengo level by half time. Renato then edged Botafogo ahead again with 18 minutes left but Emerson then broke Fogo hearts with an equaliser two minutes from time.
