The 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship concluded on Monday night (17) after Internacional and Remo drew 1-1 at Beira-Rio Stadium. After the round ended, the club from Parque São Jorge dropped two places, falling from seventh to ninth with 32 points, with eight wins, eight draws, and seven losses, having scored 25 goals and conceded 22.
In addition, the club from Parque São Jorge missed the chance to finish this round in fifth place (the preliminary stage of the 2027 Conmebol Libertadores) and, consequently, within three points of fourth-placed Fluminense (38).

At the start of the round, the gap between Corinthians and Cruzeiro was just one point. However, the Minas Gerais side, after taking all three points against Timão, opened up a four-point lead and moved into fifth place. Atlético-MG, who beat Grêmio 3-0 at Arena MRV this Sunday, also overtook the club from Parque São Jorge in the standings, reaching 32 points in eighth place and sitting above Fernando Diniz’s team by number of wins — the tiebreaker criterion (nine against eight).
Red Bull Bragantino also has the same number of points as Galo and Timão and sits in seventh place, ahead of the Minas Gerais team and Alvinegro on goal difference and number of wins, respectively. The top three teams are: Palmeiras (48), Flamengo (45, with one game in hand), and Athletico-PR (41).
From fourth to tenth place are: Fluminense (38 points), Cruzeiro (36 points), Bahia (34 points), Red Bull Bragantino (32 points), Atlético-MG (32 points), Corinthians (32 points), and Coritiba. From 11th to 16th place are: Botafogo (30 points), Vitória (29 points), São Paulo (27 points), Santos (25 points), Grêmio (25 points), and Internacional (24 points). The bottom four are made up of: Mirassol (23 points, with one game in hand), Remo (23 points), Vasco da Gama (22 points), and Chapecoense (11 points).
Fernando Diniz’s side will return to Brazilian Championship action next Sunday (23), at 7:30 p.m., at Couto Pereira Stadium, where they will visit Coritiba in a match valid for the 24th round of the national competition. Before that, however, Timão will turn its attention back to the second leg of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores round of 16. That is because next Thursday (20), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Alvinegro will face Rosario Central-ARG, also at Neo Química Arena. If there is another draw, the team that advances to the quarterfinals will be decided by a penalty shootout.
