SAO PAULO, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Former Brazil international left-back Fabio Santos converted a late penalty as Corinthians earned a 1-1 home draw with Flamengo in Brazil's Serie A championship on Saturday.

Gerson gave the visitors the lead by combining with Everton Ribeiro before curling a long-range effort into the top-right corner.

Santos equalized for the hosts with a 79th-minute spot kick after Leo Pereira's hand ball.

The result leaves Flamengo fifth with 44 points, eight points behind leaders Botafogo. Corinthians are 12th in the 20-team standings, 13 points further back.

In other Brazilian Serie A fixtures on Saturday, Vasco da Gama were held to a goalless home draw by Sao Paulo and Bahia won a frenetic clash at Goias 6-4. Enditem
