Eyes on the drop zone: São Paulo edge closer despite holding place

São Paulo suffered another defeat in the Brasileirão, their tenth in the tournament, losing 1-0 to bottom-placed Chapecoense on Sunday night (23). It is now ten matches without a win in the league, but Tricolor caught a break this round, as the teams below them in the table also failed to win.

As a result, the Morumbi side remained in 13th place with 27 points, but saw the dreaded relegation zone, the Z4, move closer. Mirassol, who open the group in 17th place, now have 24 points after a 1-1 draw with Santos. The gap is only three points.
