📊 Drop zone shake-up, new chase for leaders after Sunday's matches | OneFootball

The 20th round of the 2025 Brasileirão is practically over.

After all, following Sunday’s matches (17th), only Mirassol vs. Cruzeiro remains, which will take place this Monday (18th) in the interior of São Paulo.

And today’s four matches showed that the visiting teams felt very much at home on their opponents’ turf.

At Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, for example, Grêmio showed their immortal spirit to defeat Atlético-MG 3-1 in a match with four red cards.

And what can we say about Santos 0 x 6 Vasco, at MorumBIS? Sure, it wasn’t Vila Belmiro, but there were 54,000 fans at São Paulo’s stadium and they witnessed history being made.

And in the second match of the “trilogy” Flamengo vs. Internacional, the Rubro-Negros won again.

This time, at Beira-Rio, the same venue as the upcoming second leg of the Conmebol Libertadores round of 16 next Wednesday (20th), Flamengo beat Colorado 3-1, with Arrascaeta making history in the Brasileirão.

Finally, to complete the “walk in the park” for visitors this Sunday (17th), Palmeiras defeated Botafogo 1-0 at Nilton Santos.
