Round 18 of the 2026 Brasileirão kicked off this Saturday (30) with five matches.
Another five games will take place on Sunday (31), and then the championship will pause because of the World Cup.
After that, the ball will only roll again in Brazil on July 22, with Round 19 of the Brasileirão.
At Arena da Baixada, Athletico-PR once again relied on Viveros to beat Mirassol 1-0 and climb to third place.
At the Maracanã, Flamengo cruised past Coritiba, won 3-0, and bounced back in the competition.
In Salvador, Bahia came from behind to beat Botafogo 2-1 and moved back within reach of the G-5.
In Porto Alegre, Corinthians also came from behind to beat Grêmio, 3-1, and went from being threatened by the Z-4 to “focusing on the G-5.”
Finally, at Vila Belmiro, Santos beat Vitória 3-1 and climbed out of the Z-4, leaving Vasco in the dreaded zone.
The match was also marked by Gabigol being sent off for an obscene gesture. Click here to watch!
