Brasiliero: Fluminense 1-0 Palmeiras
Jo netted the game's only goal 20 minutes from the end to lift the leaders four points ahead of their opponents, who slipped to third spot following Fluminense's 1-0 triumph over fourth-bottom Palmeiras.
Jean's 85th-minute strike proved decisive for the Rio de Janeiro club, putting them second in the table - although both they and Vasco have played a game more than Atletico.
Fourth-placed Gremio left it late to claim a 2-1 come-from-behind victory at Sao Paulo, Andre Lima grabbing a last-minute winner after Werley had cancelled out Cicero's opener.
Mike also netted in the final minute as fifth-placed Internacional fought from a goal down to defeat Ponte Preta 2-1, Cicinho having put the away team ahead five minutes before the interval only for Jaja to restore parity on the hour.
