Athletico Paranaense and Bragantino shared the points in a 1-1 draw in Curitiba on Wednesday.

Athletico's Geuvanio put the home side ahead after 17 minutes but Claudinho equalised on the half-hour mark for the visitors.

The point did not help the newly promoted Bragantino leave the relegation zone and they currently languish in 17th place in the 20-team Brazilian Serie A.
