Corinthians drew with Fortaleza at Neo Química Arena in a dramatic match.
The match for the 18th round had a goal from Breno Lopes just five minutes into the game.
The home team only managed to equalize in the second half's extra time, with Carrilo.
Corinthians' main offensive players, Memphis, Garro, and Yuri Alberto, started the match on the bench.
They entered the field together at the beginning of the second half.
Fortaleza opened the scoring early in the match with Breno Lopes.
At five minutes, he received a beautiful pass from Matheus Pereira and shot a cross to score.
After that, Corinthians came close to equalizing on several occasions, with Angileri as the protagonist.
The left-back appeared well in the attack, making the Fortaleza goalkeeper work and even hitting the post.
But the clearest chance of equalizing in the first half fell to Romero.
The Paraguayan striker missed a great opportunity by finishing outside the small area.
Dorival Júnior activated his starting offensive trio right at the start of the final stage.
Yuri Alberto, Garro, and Memphis started the game among the reserves and entered the field together.
But the number 9 was not in an inspired game again.
He missed two great chances to score, one after a pass from Breno Bidon and another in a cross by Matheuzinho.
The decisive player for the equalizer was Carrillo, who entered the field during the final stage.
He took advantage of a rebound from the Fortaleza goalkeeper and scored in the second half's extra time.
