Brazilian Campeonato leaders Atlético-MG were held to a 1-1 draw by struggling Goianiense. Goianiense went into the game bottom but stunned the leaders with a tenth minute goal from Dias Luz Ernandes. However, the hosts had Macedo Joilson sent off 11 minutes later and within seven minutes Caldeira Bernard levelled - and that was how it stayed. Second-placed Fluminense failed to take advantage as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Cruzeiro. Wellington gave the hosts a third-minute lead but Fred rescued a point for Fluminense two minutes before half-time in a game which saw Cruzeiro's Charles and Fluminense substitute Matheus Carvalho dismissed in the 72nd minute. Fourth-placed Gremio slipped up, going down 2-1 at home to mid-table Portuguesa. Monteiro Ananias (27) and Bruno Menezes Soares (83) had the visitors in control before Kleber set up a tense finish with an 88th-minute reply. Two goals in the space of four second half minutes from Elkeson and Clarence Seedorf gave Botafogo a 2-0 win over Sport Recife, while Santana Gabriel (11) and Rodrigo Souza (90) gave Bahia victory at Ponte Preta by the same scoreline. Palmeiras moved out of the bottom three with a 1-0 win over Flamengo. Hernan Barcos got the 33rd-minute breakthrough, three minutes after the visitors had Barreto Ibson dismissed. Finally, Welker Almeida's 13th-minute penalty was added to by Araujo's double as Nautico defeated Sao Paulo 3-0. From : Fifa
