Last Sunday, Vasco hosted Vitória at São Januário and won 4 to 3. With the triumph, it reached 33 points, in the 11th position of the table, and extended its unbeaten run as a home team to five games (three wins and two draws).

The great offensive performance, coupled with a sum of victories that did not come in the first round, marks the recovery phase of Vasco in the competition. The team from Rio has the fourth best campaign in the second round, behind only Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Cruzeiro.

If Vasco maintained this performance throughout the entire Brasileirão, it would have 47 points by now, instead of the 33 it has. The score that the team could have would be enough to put it within the G4, in the qualification zone for the Libertadores.
