Monday started with Juventude’s victory over Red Bull Bragantino at Alfredo Jaconi. Daniel Peixoto scored the only goal of the match, bringing the home team to 26 points in 18th place. The defeated side remained in 10th place with 36 points.

In Rio de Janeiro, the classic between Vasco and Fluminense saw Zubeldia’s team display apathy. That’s because Fernando Diniz’s men took few risks at Maracanã.

Thus, Rayan and Nuno Moreira scored the goals that secured the win and brought Vasco to 39 points in eighth place. Fluminense, on the other hand, stayed in seventh with 41 points.

At Vila Belmiro, Vojvoda’s Santos lost to Vitória, a direct rival in the fight against relegation. The penalty goal converted by Matheuzinho brought the visiting team to 31 points, the same as the home side.

Santos have one more win and therefore sit in 16th, one position above Vitória, who are in the relegation zone. Neymar is injured and is not playing for Santos.
