Corinthians fell behind to a Leandrinho goal in the first half, but Ronaldo drew them level moments later when he fired in a penalty-kick.
Ronaldo put Corinthians ahead in the 57th minute with a suberb individual goal. He beat two defenders and blasted the ball into the back of the net with his left boot.

Towards the end of the match Gum connected to a free-kick with a well-placed header to earn Ponta Preta a point.
Despite the draw, Corinthians remain in second position of the Paulista State Championship with 34 points, six points less than league leaders Palmeiras.
