Brasileirão Matchday 25: Atlético-MG, São Paulo, and Vasco Secure Key Victories
Matchday 25 of the 2026 Brasileirão commenced on Saturday, October 29, with three exciting matches.
In Belo Horizonte, Atlético-MG faced off against Vitória in a spirited encounter. Taking full advantage of the red-and-black side’s defensive errors, Atlético-MG claimed a 2-1 victory, propelling them further up the league table.
Later in the day at MorumBIS, São Paulo broke a winless streak of four months in the Brasileirão by defeating RB Bragantino 2-1. This win was particularly significant for coach Dorival Júnior, who had not celebrated a victory against a Brazilian team in six months, a stretch that included his last games as coach of Corinthians.
Vasco also made headlines by ending an eight-match winless run in the Brasileirão with a 3-1 win over Cruzeiro at São Januário. This victory marked Vasco’s first three points under Portuguese coach Pedro Emanuel, following their recent successes in the Copa Sudamericana and Copa do Brasil.
In this match, Cruzeiro opted to field a reserve team, while Vasco entered the match with a nearly full-strength lineup.
