Palmeiras even opened 2-0, but saw Athletico seek a tie in an almost perfect 2nd half and was even further away from the top of the Brazilian Championship. The match, which ended 2-2, was held at Ligga Arena, in Curitiba.
The result left Abel Ferreira's team — now led by João Martins — in 4th place on the table with 23 points. The people from Paraná, on the other hand, reached 20 points and reached the top half of the table.
