São Caetano moved to the brink of the playoffs as they leapfrogged over Bragantino after a 2-0 victory. Artur set São Caetano on their way with the opener after eleven mintues and Aílton wrapped things up half way through the second half. Mirassol snapped their three game losing when run when they inflicted a sixth straight defeat for an Americana side that has lost its way rather alarmingly. Wellington Amorim put Mirassol ahead seven minutes before the break and Xuxa's eight of the season from the spot wrapped things up twelve minutes from time. Santos bounced back from their weekend defeat at Bragantino as they stayed in the top four with victory over Mogi Mirim. Zé Eduardo put Santos ahead with just six minutes on the clock and Keirrison doubled the lead four minutes after the break. Cristinano pulled a goal back for Mogi Mirim with twenty minute left but Edu Dracena restored the two goal advantage for Santos three minutes later.
Palmeiras remain in the hunt for top spot after pushing Linense closer to relegation at the Arena Barueri. Patrick put Palmeiras ahead six minutes before the break and Kléber doubled the lead from the spot four minutes later. A second for Patrick on the hour gave Palmeiras a three goal lead and ensured the points for the Big Green. Santo André picked up what could be a valuable point in their fight against the drop away at Portuguesa. There were no goals in the game, a result which doesn't help Portuguesa's top eight ambitions. Grêmio Prudente were another side to get an away draw in their fight against the drop, but they let a lead slip at Noroeste. The home side were ahead within two minutes thanks to Tiago Ulisses but Grêmio Prudente levelled a minute before the break through Alexsandro. Ângelo put Grêmio Prudente ahead twenty minutes into the second half but they were reduced to ten shortly after when Anderson Trindade was sent off for two yellow cards. Vandinho levelled for Noroeste with twelve minutes left but they also finished with ten me after Cris saw red three minutes from time. The shock result of the round saw São Paulo lose top spot when they went down to defeat at Paulista. Fabiano Viera and Welder put Paulista into a two goal first half lead before Rogério Ceni pulled a goal back from the spot seven minutes after the break. Vanderlei restored the two goal Paulista lead ten minutes into the second half and although Dagoberto got a second for São Paulo twenty minutes from time the home side held on to take the points.
Corinthians took advantage of the slip up of São Paulo to go top of the league after a comfortable victory over Oeste. Paulinho put Corinthians ahead ten minutes before the break before Liédson joined Elano at the top of the scoring chart with his tenth of the season four minutes after the break. Dentinho wrapped thins up for Corinthians with the third seventeen minutes from time. Botafogo SP eased away from relegation danger with their second consecutive win, this time at São Bernardo. Assis Mota put Botafogo ahead seven minutes after the break but they suffered a blow when Eduardo Dida was sent off eight minutes before time. That setback didn't prevent Botafogo making sure of the victory when João Henrique struck in injury time. Ituano hauled themselves out of the relegation zone when they held on for victory at Ponte Preta. Ituano went ahead two minutes before half time when Jefferson put them ahead with Rafael Malaquais doubling the lead ten minutes into the second half. Ferron pulled a goal back for Ponte Preta fourteen minutes from time but Ituano weren't to be denied victory.
