WHAT DOES THE BRASILEIRÃO STANDINGS LOOK LIKE?

WHAT WERE THE MATCHES THIS ROUND?

Fluminense were already leading 2-0, with goals from John Kennedy and Hércules, when Allan and Lucho Acosta got into a heated exchange. Irritated, the former Flamengo player grabbed his private parts and said “suck my d…” to the Argentine. The obscene gesture is against the rules, VAR called it, and the midfielder was sent off. With an extra man, the home side extended the lead through Castillo, but André pulled one back: 3-1. With the result, the Rio side is now second in the Brasileirão.

Besides Fluminense, Bahia also climbed the Brasileirão table. Playing at Fonte Nova, Everton Ribeiro’s team beat Athletico-PR 3-0, with goals from Everaldo (twice) and Luciano Juba. As a result, Rogério Ceni’s men now have 17 points.

AND VASCO, HUH?

Riding momentum since Renato Gaúcho’s arrival, Vasco were close to securing another win after taking the lead against Coritiba at Couto Pereira through Tchê Tchê. However, in stoppage time, the home side equalized with an own goal by Alan Saldívia: 1-1.

There was also a late goal at Beira-Rio Stadium. Internacional were beating São Paulo 1-0, thanks to Alerrandro, but Jonathan Calleri made it all square in the 43rd minute of the second half: 1-1. While Coritiba and the São Paulo side left it late to settle things, Cruzeiro wrapped up the game in under six minutes.

In coach Artur Jorge’s debut, the Belo Horizonte side opened the scoring in the 33rd minute and netted the third in the 39th to beat Vitória 3-0 at Mineirão, with goals from Christian, Kauã Moraes, and Kaio Jorge. Finally, with clear help from the officiating, Botafogo edged Mirassol 3-2 at Engenhão. Goals from Arthur Cabral, Alex Telles, and Júnior Santos for the Rio side, while Shaylon and Igor Formiga scored for the visitors.

AND FLAMENGO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

With 14 points, Flamengo need to beat Bragantino this Thursday (02) to avoid seeing the leaders pull further away. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista, with full multi-platform coverage from Coluna do Fla.
