    Santo André 0-2 Cruzeiro
    Avaí 1-0 Grêmio
    Santos 1-0 Atlético Paranaense
    Náutico 2-2 Botafogo
    Goiás 2-1 Palmeiras
    Internacional 2-2 São Paulo
    Coritiba 1-1 Sport Recife
    Atlético Miniero 2-1 Fluminense
    Corinthians 2-1 Vitória

    Flamengo hosted in form Barueri and were rocked when Série A leading scorer Val Baiano put Barueri into a deserved lead from the spot after 53 minutes. It was a deserved lead as Barueri had kept Fla keeper Bruno busy through out the first half. The equaliser came 16 minutes later after Kléberson's cross was not dealt with by the Barueri defence and Emerson was left unmarked to fire home. After, Willans hit a post for Fla but both teams took a point. The Santo André bubble has quickly burst with a second consecutive defeat, Kléber fired Cruzeiro ahead on the hour and a great strike from Diego Ranan wrapped up the points for Cruzeiro to lift them out of the relegation zone. Avaí made it three straight wins after powerful free kick from the edge of the D by Fernandinho gave them the points against Grêmio. Fernandihno though got himself sent off 12 minutes after his goal for a second bookable offence. Vanderlei Luxemburgo got off to a winning start at Santos as they defeated Atlético-PR 1-0, Neymar with the goal with 17 minutes left. Náutico snapped a 6 game losing streak after picking up a point at home to Botafogo. The visitors when ahead after Juninho scored after a move from a corner after 20 minutes. The home side fought back and Gilmar equalised from the spot just short of the hour and then headed Náutico into the lead 8 minutes later but they were pegged back when Eduardo couldn't handle a Juninho free kick and Reinaldo was there for the rebound to equalise. This result leaves both teams in the relegation zone. Palmeiras missed a chance to go top for 24 hours when they fell to defeat at Goiás. Palmeiras took the lead when Diego Souza put the Big Green ahead with a rasper from 30 yards out. Léo Lima equalised form the spot with a quarter of an hour left and Bruno Meneghel stole the points for Goiás 3 minutes from time when his shot deflected past Marcos. In the last game on Wednesday night Alcesandro headed Internacional into a quick fire two goal lead against São Paulo. The champions are made of sterner stuff these days, Hernanes striking 3 minutes into the second half after getting through the Inter defence with ease before Jean rescused a point with 20 minutes left with a looping shot that escaped the grasp of Lauro in the Inter goal.

    Coritiba picked up a second straight draw against Sport. Antonio Dutra put Sport ahead in the 18th minute but Coritiba were level 4 minutes later, Marcelinho with the equaliser. Atlético-MG went three points clear at the top as Fluminense lost their 5th straight game. Serginho Miniero put Atlético-MG ahead on the hour and 5 minutes later Diego Tardelli doubled the advantage. Kieza pulled one back for Flu but it wasn't enough to prevent them remaining entrenched in the relegation zone. Finally Corinthians climbed above Vitória after a 2-1 win at the Pacaembu. Denthino put the home side ahead after 20 minutes before Jean doubled the lead 10 minutes later. Apodi responded for Vitória but the home side held on to climb to fourth.
