Vitória Upsets São Paulo 2–0 at Barradão

The win reshaped the round’s standings by lifting Vitória to 14 points.

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.
