Brazil: Ronaldo goals hold Palmeiras

Palmeiras dropped two valuable points in Sunday’s match with Corinthians, as Ronaldo scored twice to hold the Brazilian Serie A leaders to a 2-2 draw.

Following Sao Paulo’s 1-0 win over Gremio Barueri on Saturday, Palmeiras needed a win to stay ahead of their principal rivals.

But Corinthians caused Palmeiras some serious trouble with Ronaldo opening the score after 39 minutes. Danilo leveled nine minutes after the break, but Ronaldo restored the away side’s lead on 64 minutes.

Mauricio had the final say, finding the target for 2-2 with seven minutes to go.

Palmeiras now have to share their lead with Sao Paulo, but do have a slightly better goal record.

Atletico Mineiro remain in third place thanks to a 2-3 win at Goias. Ricardinho, Eder Luis and Diego Tardelli scored for Mineiro, Julio Cesar and Leandro Euzebio did so for the hosts.

Rogerio Ceni steals the spotlight as Sao Paulo beat Santos

Sao Paulo remain alive in the Brazilian championship, thanks to a hard-fought 3-4 victory at Santos on Sunday.

The Sao Paulo derby started well for Santos, who went ahead through Andre in the 5th minute. Hernanes leveled six minutes later, but Rodrigo Souto restored Santos’ lead in minute 25.

Washington (38th) and Jorge Wagner (59) then turned things around for Sao Paulo, but the hosts then set the score to 3-3 with an equaliser from Robson, six minutes after the hour.

The winning goal came from Sao Paulo goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni in the 68th minute. The keeper went from hero to villain when given a red card nine minutes later, but substitute goalie Denis made sure that Santos wouldn’t score another goal.

Palmeiras lead the Brazilian Serie A with nine games to go, and have one point more than Atletico Mineiro. Internacional and Sao Paulo follow at another point.

Brazil: Atletico Mineiro close on Palmeiras

Atletico Mineiro kept championship hopes alive in the Brazilian Serie A, with a 1-0 win over Vitoria on Saturday.

Two days after Palmeiras’ surprising 2-0 defeat by Santo Andre, Atletico Mineiro knew that a win in their game allowed them to reduce the gap with the leaders to just one point.

A goal from Diego Tardelli in the 28th minute was enough for Mineiro to achieve exactly that. Vitoria tried to do something back but weren’t helped by a second yellow card for Leandro late on.

International and Sao Paulo, both currently five points behind Palmeiras, play on Sunday and face Gremio and Santos respectively.

Juventus about to sign Gremio’s Felipe

TURIN (SW) – Italian giants Juventus are about to sign Brazilian wing-back Felipe Mattioni of Gremio, according to Itasportspress.

The agency reports that the player and his agent had a meeting with Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco on Wednesday, and add that the Old Lady should be only days away from officially announcing the transfer.

The 20-year-old Felipe made his Brazilian Serie A debut in 2008 and soon attracted interest of many European top sides such as Manchester United, Ajax and Juventus. This week, Gremio said that a transfer is unlikely but this now seems to have changed.

Negotiations with Juventus began in November, and the Italian side are reportedly set to pay 7 million Euros for the player.
