São Paulo and Ferroviária have six, the latter beat the former on Saturday yet remain behind on goal difference. Internacional complete the top eight on four, ahead of Corinthians on difference.

The Brabas have beaten Atlético Mineiro, drawn with Bahia and lost to Palmeiras, a 44 percent return. The league is a single round robin of 17 rounds, the top eight advance and the bottom two are relegated to Série A2.
