Flu and Corinthians open distance.

Sat, Aug 7:

Botafogo 3-0 Atlético-MG
[Maicosuel 33', Somália 42', Herrera 71' (PK)]
Somália's goal shot actually hit Herrera in the arm, a
difficult decision for the referee. It looked clearly
unintentional for me, so I think he got it right.
Points for Mark and me.

Guarani 4-1 Avaí
[Renan 10', Ricardo Xavier 12', Mazola 35', Fabão 71' -
Robinho 15' (PK)]
This is the kind of game Guarani have to win to stay in
the top flight. Good job!
No points.

Sun, Aug 8:

Corinthians 1-0 Flamengo
[Elias 39']
Corinthians keep the pressure on Flu.
Points for both.

Goiás 1-1 Palmeiras
[Amaral 90' - Ewerthon 13']
Scolari still winless!
Double for me.

Ceará 0-0 Atlético-GO
Disappointing result for Ceará, who are now third
nonetheless. Good start for René Simões at Atlético.
No points.

Grêmio 1-2 Fluminense
[André Lima 89' - Mariano 17' (FK), Emerson 20']
Grêmio's coach Silas was fired, former club idol
Renato Portaluppi is rumored to take over.
Point for Mark.

Atlético-PR 1-1 São Paulo
[Maikon Leite 73' - Cléber Santana 68']
SP still look for a coach.
Double for me.

Vasco da Gama 1-0 Vitória
[Zé Roberto 23']
Vasco are looking better, even with one man down
(Carlos Alberto got two quick yellows for dissent)
they had not much trouble to contain Vitória.
Point for me.

Cruzeiro 0-0 Grêmio Prudente
Prudente are boring.
No points.

And order is restored. Daniele takes the top spot to
potentially maintain it till the end of the season.

I say potentially because Luiz, MH and Mark are poised
to give him a tough fight. Oh, and Lleo is just lulling
us into a sense of security before he strikes.

Anyway, the only thing that is clear is the those guys
in second place have peaked too soon with their lucky
bets and favourable draw. It's downhill for them from
here on.
