Vasco jumps to ninth place

With three points earned at Castelão, Vasco reached 36 points, overtaking Bragantino and Ceará. The team is now just two points behind Fluminense, which currently opens the qualification zone for a potential G8, which would grant a spot in the Libertadores playoffs.

Lead over the relegation zone is the largest of the year

The most important consequence of the win is the consolidation of calm in the battle against relegation. The gap to Vitória, which sits 17th and tops the Z4 with 25 points, is now 11 points. The “cushion” over the drop zone is the largest the club has built throughout the competition.

The positive run, with three straight wins and assured performances even with absences, shows that Fernando Diniz’s team has found its path. The focus, which was previously mere survival, now shifts to pursuing a goal that seemed unlikely a few months ago.
