Relegation battle tightens! Brasileirão table after Wednesday's games

The ‘super’ international break finally ended, and the Brasileirão returned in style this Wednesday (7) as matchweek 29 got underway.

Wednesday’s final match saw Cruzeiro beat São Paulo, moving the Foxes into the top four.

Earlier, Inter beat Corinthians in a head-to-head clash in the battle to avoid the bottom four and, in the process, triggered the sacking of coach Fernando Diniz.
