Vasco out of Brasileirão relegation zone after 11 rounds | OneFootball

Vasco will finish a round outside the relegation zone for the first time since May, after Grêmio drew 0-0 with Palmeiras on Sunday morning at the Arena. They will end round 28 in 16th on 31 points, two ahead of Grêmio, who occupy 17th.

On Saturday, Pedro Emanuel's side thrashed Coritiba 5-0 in their second successive league win.

Vasco had spent 11 rounds in the bottom four. They fell into the Z-4 in round 18, the last before the World Cup pause, after a 1-0 home defeat to Atlético-MG, when Renato Gaúcho was in charge.

Pedro Emanuel called it a dangerous fixture, noting Coritiba's threat on the counter and strong away record. He said focus on keeping the ball and scoring made it a comfortable afternoon, and credited humility in the dressing room as a key message.

The squad have been given time off until Thursday because of the Fifa window. They return on seven October to face Botafogo at Estádio Nilton Santos in round 29.
