Former Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano struck in second-half stoppage time to earn 10-man Sao Paulo a 2-2 draw with Flamengo in Brazil's Serie A on Wednesday.

Fabiano, a second-half substitute for Alexandre Pato, poked a right-foot shot into the bottom corner after Souza flicked on Reinaldo's cross.

Alecsandro appeared to secure victory for the visitors three minutes earlier when he nodded in Hector Canteros' cross after a corner.

Sao Paulo's former Brazil international winger Michel Bastos was shown a straight red card in the 74th minute for a studs-up challenge on Everton.

Earlier, Everton's close-range finish cancelled out Rogerio Ceni's 18th-minute spot kick.

The result at the Morumbi stadium left Sao Paulo third in the standings, nine points behind leaders Cruzeiro. Flamengo rose to 10th, 12 points further back. Endit
