Overview
- Vasco overturned a 1–0 deficit to beat Grêmio 2–1 at Arena do Grêmio on Saturday when Thiago Mendes equalized and Facundo Colidio finished the turnaround.
- The victory snapped a 20‑year run without an away win over Grêmio and, players and coach Pedro Emanuel said, followed halftime adjustments and a more mature team performance.
- Vasco and Grêmio both sit on 28 points but remain inside the danger area on goal difference, and Vasco must refocus quickly for the Copa Sul‑Americana return leg against Independiente Santa Fe at São Januário on Tuesday.
- Botafogo drew 1–1 with Red Bull Bragantino at Nilton Santos after an own goal by Lucas Monzón, an early red card for Wallace Yan and a second‑half equalizer by Vitinho, extending Botafogo's winless run to six matches and keeping them close to the relegation zone on 32 points.
- Floresta began the Série C access quadrangular with a 1–0 loss to Maringá and faces two consecutive away games to avoid a second defeat and remain in contention for one of the two promotion spots in the short mini‑league.
