The second round of the Brazilian Soccer Championship

In this second round of the Campeonato Brasileiro Corinthians reached the first position. It was the only team that won the first two rounds and add 6 points.Another surprise is Avai, who won the first round with the highest number of goals and drew with Cruzeiro, playing outside, 2-2. And they came to be winning by 2-0.Botafogo, scored a great victory, turning, for 2-1, against Sao Paulo.Flamengo drew with the Vitória of the  Bahia. The Santos, a team that is being hailed as a favorite, only drew with Ceará. And just did this with the help of the referee of the game. He scored two penalty kicks for the Santos missing, voided a legitimate goal of Ceará and still failed to score a penalty for them.The worst game of the round, and certainly the worst of the competition so far, was Vasco and Palmeiras. Two teams that have won numerous Brazilian championships, tied at 0-0. The game was low technical level, with many errors. Fans were outraged and booed the very end of the match.
