📉 In crisis, Vasco match their worst start in the Brasileirão points era | OneFootball

By losing to Santos 2-1 last Thursday (26th), Vasco became the bottom team in the Brasileirão 2026.

With only one point after four rounds, the Cruz-Maltino matched a negative record in its own history.

This is because the current team has the worst start in the club's history in the Brasileirão by points system, just like in the 2004 and 2019 seasons.

The main national club championship has been by points system since 2003 and, from 2006 onwards, with 20 teams competing for the title.

🤔 Is it a reason to despair?

The numbers, of course, indicate concern among Vasco fans.

However, the Brasileirão is just beginning.

In 2008, the year of the first relegation to Série B, the Cruz-Maltino was in fourth place with seven points after four rounds.

In 2013, during the second drop, Vasco had six points and was in tenth position at this point in the championship.

Two years later, in 2015, during the third relegation, the Gigante da Colina was in 17th place with three points after four rounds.

And finally, in 2020, the year Vasco fell for the fourth time to Série B in its history, the team was leading the Brasileirão with 10 points at this stage of the championship.

The club's best campaign, after four rounds, was in the 2012 season, when it was leading the Brasileirão with 12 points.
