The Brasileirão had a few interesting results last night. Just when things seemed to be looking up for Atlético Mineiro they end up losing to second from bottom Ponte Preta. The biggest surprise was São Paulo, who have been woeful to watch this season, beat top of the league Cruzeiro, who before last night hadn’t lost at home in the Brasileirão for 11 months. But Gremio weren’t able to capitalise on this because they lost to third from bottom Criciúma. Vasco also managed to beat Fluminense, who are another team who have been struggling this season after a great season last year.
A good night for the clubs at the bottom (Náutico aside) and now only 10 points separate 8th-19th place so even though the top has Cruzeiro with one hand on the trophy, the relegation can still be a good handful of teams.
It should be a good game on Sunday in the derby between Atlético and Cruzeiro. This game will be live on BT Sports at 8pm on Sunday. Will be worth a watch if you can as i'm sure Atlético will do anything they can to put a bit more of a dent in Cruzeiros title hopes.
