In the 23rd round of the Brasileirao, the race for the title came down to what is promising to
be a tight one. Palmeiras (44 points), Inter (43) and Sao Paulo (40) won their matches and offered
no chance for each other to relax.
On the match that marked the return of Vagner Love, Palmeiras received Barueri at
home.
.... Lots of it. After looking like the virtual champion of Campeonato Brasileiro, Palmeiras
lost points and the chances of confirming the title. And with that, 4 clubs have now the chance of
taking the title away from the side headed by Muricy Ramalho. In the 31st round of Brasileiro,
Atletico-MG, Inter, Sao Paulo and Flamengo won their matches and are just a few step away from
jumping to first (something that can happen in the next round).
The 33rd round of Brasileirao put on the top Palmeiras and Sao Paulo, creator (Muricy Ramalho)
versus creation (Sao Paulo). Palmeiras leads because of the goal difference, three more than Sao
Paulo.
On the weekend, Palmeiras played the derby against Corinthians whereas Sao Paulo played
Barueri.
When Palmeiras lost for Gremio on Wednesday, it seemed only Sao Paulo and Flamengo still fought
for the title, right? Wrong! The two sides dropped important points, and Inter won. The result? 4
teams still have the chance to lift the title on December 6th.
Sao Paulo visited Botafogo, which found itself in a very difficult situation in the relegation
struggle.
After the 37th round of Brasileirao, 4 clubs have the chance of lift the title in next week's
final round being Flamengo the one with a hand and a half in the trophy. (A round, by the way, with
44 goals, the record of this season).
Flamengo took on Corinthians in the city of Campinas.
