The 11th round of the Brasileirão is officially over.
This Sunday (12), five matches brought the round to a close.
The day began with Athletico-PR beating Chapecoense 2-0, bouncing back in the league and moving close to the top five.
Later in the afternoon, Botafogo and Coritiba played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in Rio de Janeiro.
Two derbies livened up the start of Sunday night.
At the Maracanã, Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-1, with Pedro shining, and climbed the table.
And in Itaquera, Corinthians, with two fewer players on the field after red cards, held Palmeiras to a 0-0 draw, but moved dangerously close to the relegation zone after eight winless matches in the Brasileirão.
Finally, at the Mineirão, Cruzeiro came from behind to beat RB Bragantino 2-1 and, even though they are still in the relegation zone, they are already beginning to see a “light at the end of the tunnel” after their second win of the campaign.

📊 See the updated table
Palmeiras remain clear at the top, but they can already see Flamengo in the "rear-view mirror" after Flamengo jumped from fifth place to second.
That is because the Rubro-Negro have a better goal difference than São Paulo, Fluminense and Bahia (+8 vs +6 vs +5 vs +5).
And in the relegation zone, Cruzeiro are showing signs that they could leave the "dreaded zone," while Corinthians are on the "brink of chaos."
