Sao Paulo missed a chance to clinch the Brazilian championship title yesterday as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Fluminense.
Fluminense took a shock lead when Tarta scored from a rebound four minutes into the second half.
Striker Borges equalized eight minutes later despite failing to connect properly with Jorge Wagner's cross.
Sao Paulo defender Andre Dias headed against the post with seven minutes left, leaving his team needing a draw from their visit to Goias next yesterday to win the title for the third time in a row.
