The day started with three matches at 4pm.
Leaders Palmeiras wanted to take advantage of Flamengo’s loss on Saturday (22), and Vasco ended up being the ones to “pay the price.”
A 4-1 thrashing by Verdão brought even more breathing room at the top of the table.
Bahia, meanwhile, went into the derby against Vitória under pressure after five rounds without a win.
But the Tricolor de Aço didn’t let a packed Barradão shake them and grabbed all three points with a 2-0 scoreline.
Back in the state of São Paulo, RB Bragantino and Grêmio played a sleepy game.
But on the last play, Massa Bruta snatched an important win that left Tricolor Gaúcho still worried about the relegation zone.

In Baixada, Santos drew 1-1 with Mirassol, who were down to 10 men from the middle of the second half onward.
The result left both Peixe and Leão Caipira extremely worried about the possibility of relegation.
And speaking of relegation, apparently São Paulo are willing to play in Série B for the first time in their history.
Tricolor Paulista managed the feat of losing 1-0 to Chapecoense at Arena Condá and made it 10 Brasileirão matches without a win (five months without one).
Chape, who are rooted to the bottom of the table, picked up only their second win of the competition after a seven-month drought.
Finally, at Couto Pereira, Coritiba won the “six-pointer” and beat Corinthians 2-1.
