One of the biggest surprises of the week was São Paulo’s 1-0 home defeat against Cuiabá. The Tricolor Paulista, fighting to be in the top four, was beaten by a rival fighting to evade relegation.

The goal of the Dourado came in the 82nd minute through Eliel, who had entered the field two minutes earlier, after several rebounds in the area. The ball was left loose and the 21-year-old striker did not hesitate and sent it into the back of the net, thus scoring his first goal for the club.

It’s the second consecutive victory and the third in four games for Cuiabá, which is now 13th with 10 points, while São Paulo cut a 13-game unbeaten streak and is now three games without a win.

Grêmio has now lost five in a row in the Brasileirão and coach Renato Portaluppi is beginning to walk a tightrope.

Internacional took advantage of being at home to beat Corinthians 1-0 and return to winning after a draw and a defeat. For its part, the Timão remains in the relegation places.

A great goal by Wesley in the 42nd minute was enough for the victory of the Colorado. The midfielder started on the right and closed to the center, and just before entering the area, he made a left-footed shot that went into the corner.

Coudet’s team, which has two games less than its rivals, has 14 points and is in ninth place. However, if they catch up and win their matches, they would be second. On Corinthians’ side, it is a dismal campaign with only one win in ten games. They have three losses and three draws in their last six games.

In the week’s blockbuster match, Flamengo beat Bahia in an agonizing 2-1 to take the lead in the Brasileirão.

Both teams led the tournament with 18 points and the home club, which had many important absentees due to the Copa América, took the lead with a strong cross shot by Gerson from outside the area in the 24th minute. Ten minutes later, the visitors would equalize after a remarkable definition by Everaldo in front of goalkeeper Agustín Rossi.

Both teams had their chances and wanted to win. Finally, defender David Luiz would appear at 90+4′ with a header after a free kick by Gerson. It was 2-1 in the last play.

With this victory, the Fla remains in the lead with a one-point advantage over Botafogo and Palmeiras, while Bahia dropped to fifth place, showing how tight the top is.
