Matchday 34 of the Brasileirão is history and, as expected, we have a new leader of the standings, Palmeiras.
The Verdão continued to show great play in recent weeks and won again at the weekend, taking advantage of Botafogo’s draw to take the top spot. On the other hand, Grêmio was not as fortunate, losing unexpectedly to Corinthians to remain in third place in the table, just 1 point behind ‘O Fogo’ and 3 behind Palmeiras.
Bragantino, on the other hand, also failed to take advantage of Botafogo’s new slip-up, as they drew last weekend, and the point only served to keep them level with Grêmio in third place. However, Atlético Mineiro won again and moved dangerously close to the top of the standings.
Now, let’s look at what happened in some of the most interesting matches of this Brasileirão matchday 34.
