Cruzeiro slip up on matchday 20, see the table 📊

The 20th round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship came to a close on Monday night (18).

And with only two home teams winning, against five victorious visitors.

Playing at Mineirão, Cruzeiro took the lead with another goal from the competition’s top scorer.

But Mirassol sought the 1-1 draw to remain unbeaten in front of their fans.

See below how the match went, the updated BR table, and which duels are yet to come.

The first play that caught attention was José Aldo’s handball inside the area.

The sequence had Kaio Jorge and Matheus Pereira being lethal in just the fifth minute, when the number 10 crossed to the center-forward – with a lot of freedom – to dominate and open the scoring.

His 14th goal in the Brazilian Championship. Seven of them came after passes from the celestial waiter.

The goal “conditioned” the celestial performance, which tried to take advantage of the spaces left by a Mirassol that was trying to find itself.

The final stage had a more objective Mirassol with the ball.

And the goal came after Negueba took responsibility and beat Cássio with a beautiful goal (19′).

The turnaround almost came in Matheus Bianchi’s chance.

Raposa complained about Chico Kim’s entry on Eduardo, and the final stretch was attempts from both sides. But without new goals.

Cruzeiro lost the vice-leadership. They have only one win in their last five Brazilian Championship games.

Palmeiras (who have only played 18 games) took over second place. And leader Flamengo now has a four-point lead.

Bahia was one of the big winners of the round, as they opened up an advantage over the fifth-placed team.

And Mirassol, who stopped being a surprise, remains in the G-6.

Previously fighting to stay in the G-4, Red Bull Bragantino continues to plummet.

They have gone seven rounds without a win – and six consecutive defeats.

Fluminense is the one reacting, having scored seven of their last nine points.

And they will face Massa Bruta in the next round.

Vasco’s thrashing of Santos made Vitória – who extended their positive result drought – return to the Z-4.

Sport saw their unbeaten streak increase. Now it’s five rounds.

But they remain at the bottom.
