Romarinho's brace sinks Palmeiras

25 June 2012-PA Sport

Palmeiras remains winless after six games in the Campeonato after a 2-1 defeat by Corinthians.

The visitor, which props up the early season table on two points, took an early lead through Mazinho but was pegged back by Romarinho's brace.

The only other team without a win is Santos, though it at least mustered its fourth draw of the season despite twice losing the lead against Coritiba.

Edu Dracena put it ahead in the first half, but Rafinha equalised early in the second and Lincoln netted a penalty soon after Neymar had restored the host's lead.

Fluminense, by contrast, remains unbeaten after hammering Atletico Goianense 4-1 away from home.

Atletico actually led through Ernandes' 13th-minute goal but Samuel Goncalves equalised six minutes later and Gum made it 2-1 by half-time.

Gilson's own goal extended Flu's lead before Deco netted a late penalty, after Marino was sent off for the host.

But it remains one point behind fourth-placed Gremio, which beat Flamengo 2-0 with goals either side of half-time from Marcelo Martins and Werley.

Elsewhere, Ponte Preta won 2-1 away to Botafogo, Internacional beat Sport Recife 2-0 and Figueirense and Bahia drew 1-1.
