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.

After a miserable performance in the Gre-Nal, Inter have the opportunity to get their Brasileirão campaign back on track tonight as they take on São Paulo at the Beira-Rio (21:50 local time).
With a defeat tonight likely to encourage calls for Tite to be dismissed, the Inter coach could make changes from the side which lost in Sunday's clássico.

Inter threw away a two goal lead as São Paulo came back to earn a 2-2 draw at the Beira-Rio last night.
Alecsandro who was recalled to an Inter side which saw both Taison and D'Alessandro dropped, scored twice in the first half to give Inter a healthy advantage.
The first resulted from Kléber's long freekick into the box which found Alecsandro (29) unmarked as the striker headed Inter in front.

The 24th round of Campeonato Brasileiro was all Sao Paulo's.

Sao Paulo received the surprisingly good side of Avai at Morumbi. In the first-half, Avai made things difficult for Sao Paulo, as the home team offered loose defensive action in the midfield. In the second-half, however, Sao Paulo decided to suffocate the visitors.

1)... when a side full of great names who can't play well collectively faces another side which for 3 matches in a row started losing but managed to get two draws and one victory?
Answer: Fluminense scoring first through Fred (something that did not happen since April 30th) but conceiving the draw to Nautico in the second half's stoppage time.
