The first round of the 2026 Brasileirão ended this Thursday (29th) with two matches.
In the countryside of São Paulo, Vasco lost to Mirassol by 2-1 after taking the lead.
The match was marked by an impressive scolding from coach Fernando Diniz to the Cruz-Maltino players, as well as a head collision that knocked Coutinho out.
Finally, in the match that closed the opening round, Botafogo thrashed Cruzeiro 4-0 at Nilton Santos stadium.
Under pressure due to the “hot backstage” of the SAF, Glorioso imposed themselves on the field and, interestingly, Danilo – one of the players who was “in John Textor’s sights” to leave the club – scored two goals.
