Flamengo and Palmeiras level on points, title race heats up

The fight for the Brazilian Championship title took a new turn after the last round. Although Flamengo has three more points than Palmeiras, the red-black team also has one more game played. In practice, this leaves the two rivals tied in lost points (20), which keeps the race for the leadership wide open.

The Palmeiras did its part and beat Vasco 3-0 at Allianz Parque. Besides the victory, Abel Ferreira's team also benefited from the draw between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, another direct title contender, which is now further behind in the lost points table.

Dispute Scenario

The balance at the top shows that every stumble can be decisive. In the next round, the two leaders have tough away games: Flamengo faces Bahia, while Palmeiras battles in the classic against São Paulo.

In the middle of the table, the position of Corinthians stands out: although the team is in 13th place in the official standings, it only ranks 16th in lost points, with 48. This shows that Timão's current score requires attention, as Atlético-MG, Internacional and Santos have fewer games played and can move up in the standings.

Thus, the final stretch promises to be electrifying both in the fight for the title and in the dispute for intermediate positions, where each postponed game can redraw the scenario of the table.
