Check out Vasco’s impressive new spot in the Brasileirão after matchday 25 | OneFootball

The consistent 2-0 victory over Cruzeiro, the league’s runner-up, solidified the major turning point for Vasco in the Brazilian Championship. With the conclusion of Sunday’s matches in the 25th round, the club made a spectacular leap in the standings. The team, which was recently fighting against relegation, now occupies 11th place and can already dream of greater goals.

Vasco rises to 11th place

With their second consecutive win, Vasco reached 30 points. The result allowed the Cruz-Maltino to surpass Corinthians (12th) and Ceará (13th), taking over 11th place. The team is now tied in points with Grêmio, who are in 10th, but trails behind due to tiebreaker criteria.

Biggest gap from the relegation zone this year

The most important consequence of this good moment is the peace of mind in the fight against relegation. The gap to Juventude, who open the relegation zone in 17th place with 22 points, is now eight points. This is by far the largest “cushion” that Vasco has managed to build throughout the competition.

The positive streak, with solid performances and wins over teams at the top of the table (Bahia and Cruzeiro), shows that Fernando Diniz’s team has found its way. The focus, which was previously just survival, can now shift to the pursuit of a spot in South American competitions.
