Overview
- Vitória, which beat São Paulo 2–0 on Saturday, climbed to 14 points and pulled clear of the drop zone in Brazil’s top flight.
- Cacá opened the scoring in the first half on a rehearsed set piece, finishing after Nathan Mendes flicked on Ramon’s free kick.
- São Paulo went down to 10 men early in the second half when Lucas Ramon saw a straight red for a high challenge on Matheuzinho, and full-back Ramon later broke clear to seal the result.
- Short-handed São Paulo traveled without key attackers Calleri and Luciano, and coach Roger Machado said the loss came from lapses on set pieces and counterattacks despite long spells of control.
- Elsewhere in the round, Remo and Vasco drew 1–1 in Belém after a 30‑minute rain delay, and Série B saw Sport and Avaí finish 2–2 with Sorriso’s stoppage‑time equalizer.
