Galo took advantage of the red-and-black side’s defensive mistakes, won 2-1, and moved up the table.
Later, at MorumBIS, São Paulo ended a four-month winless run in the Brasileirão by beating RB Bragantino 2-1.
Coach Dorival Júnior had not beaten a Brazilian team in six months – including the final stretch of his time in charge of Corinthians.
Finally, Vasco ended an eight-match winless streak in the Brasileirão (since the 1-0 win over Athletico-PR on May 10) by beating Cruzeiro 3-1 at São Januário.
After the 4-1 thrashing of Olimpia in the Copa Sudamericana and the 1-0 win over Vitória in the Copa do Brasil, this was the first time Gigante da Colina took all three points in a Brasileirão match under Portuguese coach Pedro Emanuel.
