📊 Brasileirão’s fierce fight against the drop: table after super Saturday

📊 Brasileirão’s fierce fight against the drop: table after super Saturday Matchday 27 continued this Saturday (12) with six more games. After the “crazy” 3-3 draw between Coritiba and Athletico-PR in the opening match of the round last Friday (11), the “rain of goals” continued in the Brasileirão. The day began with Atlético-MG’s solid 3-1 win over Fluminense in Belo Horizonte. Both the Minas Gerais side and the Rio de Janeiro team fielded reserve/mixed lineups because of their continental deciders next week. Galo need to overturn a 2-0 deficit at home against Santos in the Conmebol Sudamericana quarter-finals, while the Laranjeiras Tricolor travel to Argentina to face Platense holding a 2-0 advantage in the Libertadores quarter-finals. At the same time, Vasco once again showed they are on an “upward curve” this season by coming from behind to beat Grêmio 2-1. + 📹 Coach clashes with reporter after Grêmio defeat: ‘What sells is blood’ Later, there were two more entertaining matches in the national championship. At Arena Condá, Internacional beat Chapecoense 2-1 and ended a 10-match winless streak in the Brasileirão (since the 4-1 win over Vasco on May 16). And in the Choque-Rei, there was another Palmeiras win over São Paulo, this time 2-0 at Nubank Parque. The result not only eased the pressure on coach Abel Ferreira, but also maintained a kind of hoodoo over Tricolor for their Alviverde rivals. After all, São Paulo have not beaten Palmeiras since July 2023. Over 13 derbies, Verdão have won nine and there have been four draws. That “ownership” led to plenty of teasing from Alviverde on social media. + 😂 Palmeiras become Darth Vader to mock their “ownership” over São Paulo Finally, to wrap up the ‘super Saturday’, Botafogo and RB Bragantino drew 1-1, while Santos claimed their third straight Brasileirão win with a 2-1 victory over Cruzeiro. 📅 Upcoming matchday 27 games Contrary to what “tradition” dictates, Sunday (13) will have only two matches.
