Corinthians went to the top of the Campeonato standings despite only managing a goalless draw away to Santos on Wednesday.
The new leaders climbed above Flamengo, who remain unbeaten, by taking a point from their 15th game of the season to join the previous front-runners on 33 points.
By virtue of having ten wins to Flamengo's nine, Corinthians take over first place. The draw nudges Santos to 15 points, up two places to 14th in the 20-team league.
