Campeonato Brasileiro: Mid-Week Review

Before a new round takes place. Let’s remember what happened during the week.

-Gremio has been absolut. The victory against poor Ipatinga was slim and came through an offside goal. But the fans don’t care (as you will probably see below in the comments box). Their club has been a great surprise.

-Cruzeiro is not letting it go. 2-0 victory against the always unstabble Inter.

-Playing at home, Palmeiras is a giant. 3-0 victory over Vitoria in another key match for the top 4 spots.

-Washington from Fluminense loves Sao Paulo. Like in the Libertadores, the striker left a bad moment in his careers behind with a ton of goals against Sao Paulo. This time a hat-trick in the 3-1 victory.

-Flamengo is a joke. Another defeat. 7 matches without victory and the club from Rio fell from the first to the 7th spot. This time defeat came in final moments of the match against Goias. Iarley scored.

-Vasco is also a joke. 2-0 defeat at home against Coritiba of the good striker Keirrisson. He scored another one and put Vasco even closer to the relegation zone.

-Botafogo right now is the best club from Rio. Solid 2-1 victory over Figueirense, and the 8th spot has been reached.

-The clubs are in opposed atmospheres. Nautico is really bad. 2-0 defeat against Atletico-PR. Sport is recovering well. 2-0 victory over Portuguesa.

-Santos will finish the first half of the league in the relegation zone. Defeat at home against the weak side of Atletico-MG has no excuses. The club was winning 2-0 in the first-half and lost 3-2. Coach Cuca is gone. And if things don’t change, we may see in December another traditional club in second division.
