📊 Brasileirão in fierce Z-4 scrap: table after super Saturday | OneFootball

Round 27 continued this Saturday (12) with six more matches.

After the “crazy” 3-3 draw between Coritiba and Athletico-PR in the opening game of the round last Friday (11), the “rain of goals” kept coming in the Brasileirão.

The day started with Atlético-MG’s solid 3-1 win over Fluminense in Belo Horizonte.

Both the team from Minas Gerais and the side from Rio fielded reserve/mixed lineups because of their continental knockout matches next week.

Galo need to overturn a 2-0 deficit at home against Santos in the Conmebol Sudamericana quarterfinals, while the Laranjeiras Tricolor will travel to Argentina to face Platense with a 2-0 advantage in the Libertadores quarterfinals.

At the same time, Vasco once again showed they are on an “upward curve” this season by coming from behind to beat Grêmio 2-1.

Then came two more entertaining matches in the national championship.

At Arena Condá, Internacional beat Chapecoense 2-1 and ended a 10-match winless run in the Brasileirão (since the 4-1 win over Vasco on May 16).

And in the Choque-Rei, there was another Palmeiras win over São Paulo, this time 2-0, at Nubank Parque.

The result not only eased the pressure on coach Abel Ferreira, but also kept up a kind of hoodoo the Tricolor has against their Alviverde rivals.

After all, São Paulo have not beaten Palmeiras since July 2023. Across 13 derbies, Verdão have won nine matches, with four draws.

That “ownership” led to plenty of teasing from Alviverde on social media.

Finally, to wrap up “super Saturday,” Botafogo and RB Bragantino drew 1-1, while Santos made it three straight wins in the Brasileirão with a 2-1 victory over Cruzeiro.

📅 Upcoming Round 27 matches

Contrary to what “tradition” usually dictates, Sunday (13) will feature only two matches.

Round 27 will only end on Monday (14), with Bahia hosting Remo.
