Palmeiras had the chance to temporarily surpass Flamengo in the standings if they defeated Bahia. Given this situation, coach Abel Ferreira fielded his strongest team at Arena Fonte Nova.

In the first half, Palmeiras and Bahia played a very balanced game. In the second half, both teams launched into attack in pursuit of victory.

However, at the 30′ mark, Ademir scored a stunning goal at Fonte Nova. Goalkeeper Ronaldo made a beautiful pass to the forward, who advanced and performed a dazzling dribble on Jetfé. Subsequently, Bahia's number 7 hit the top corner, leaving no chance for Weverton, Palmeiras' goalkeeper.

Given the results of Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, which lost on Saturday (27) to Vasco, Flamengo enters the field this Sunday (28) with an ‘easier’ task. This is because they already know what they need to do against Corinthians.

Thus, if they defeat their rival, Flamengo will open a four-point lead over Cruzeiro and five over Palmeiras. Therefore, even with a draw or loss, the Rubro-Negro will remain in the isolated lead of the Brasileirão.
