Giants trade places in the Z-4: updated Brasileirão table

Matchday 25 of the 2026 Brasileirão kicked off this Saturday (29) with three games.

With both teams involved in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, Atlético-MG and Vitória played an entertaining match in Belo Horizonte.

Galo took advantage of the red-and-black side’s defensive mistakes, won 2-1, and climbed the standings.

Later, at MorumBIS, São Paulo ended a four-month winless run in the Brasileirão by beating RB Bragantino 2-1.

Manager 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-game winless streak in the Brasileirão (since the 1-0 win over Athletico-PR on May 10) by beating Cruzeiro 3-1 at São Januário.
