RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- Fluminense extended their winless run in Brazil's Serie A championship to five matches when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Vitoria here on Friday.
Former Hertha Berlin and Wolfsburg midfielder Cicero gave the hosts the lead on the stroke of half-time after teammate Richarlison converted a penalty to cancel out Marcelo's opener.
But midfielder Marinho equalized two minutes from time when he lashed a low shot past goalkeeper Julio Cesar after skilful build up play from Wellington.
The result at the Maracana stadium left four-time Brazilian top-flight champions Fluminense eighth in the 20-team standings with 48 points from 33 matches.
Vitoria, promoted from the Serie B last season, remain locked in a relegation struggle in 17th spot with 36 points.
