RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- Rematch to the finals of the 2010 Brazilian Cup, Santos and Vitoria battled to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship.

The emotionless match left both teams with a sensation of losing as neither team was able to improve their position on the leader board.

Vitoria remains in fourteenth place with 38 points. In the next round of play, the team will receive Cruzeiro on November 7.
