📊 Neck and neck at both ends! The updated Brasileirão table

Round 30 of the 2026 Brasileirão showcased a neck-and-neck race at both ends of the table. The week began with Atlético-MG staging a spectacular 2-1 comeback victory over Santos, thanks to a last-minute bicycle kick. Three state derbies then took place simultaneously across Brazil.

Flamengo secured their top spot with a 1-0 win over Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro, despite complaints from Fluminense that the referee should have sent off Pulgar for a challenge on Castillo's knee. Palmeiras demolished Corinthians 4-1 in São Paulo, pushing their rivals further towards danger. Meanwhile, Grêmio and Internacional drew 1-1 in Rio Grande do Sul, keeping both teams in the perilous relegation scrap.

Bahia ended the day with a 1-0 triumph over Mirassol, while a penalty miss for São Paulo in their final match of the round left them in a precarious position. Only three matches remained to be played on Monday, featuring Coritiba vs Botafogo, Athletico-PR vs Chapecoense, and Cruzeiro vs RB Bragantino.
