After falling behind to an early goal from Bernard, Flamengo turned the game around before halftime through Plata and Arrascaeta. Atlético-MG equalized through Renan Lodi in the second half, but Carrascal converted a stoppage-time penalty to give Flamengo a 3–2 win.
The Rio side needed all three points. Title rivals Palmeiras had taken the lead with a 2–0 win over Red Bull Bragantino and were hoping Flamengo would slip up. Flamengo now have 70 points to Palmeiras' 69.

Grêmio, meanwhile, had not won since their 3–1 victory over Chapecoense on August 30 in Matchweek 25. Away from home, they beat Coritiba thanks to a goal from Braithwaite in one of the final moments of the match.
The result was crucial to Grêmio's bid to escape the relegation zone. The side from Rio Grande do Sul now have 34 points, overtaking Corinthians on 33 to move into 17th place. They are one point behind local rivals Internacional, the first team outside the bottom four.
