Vitória win and stop São Paulo closing on the leaders

Vitória beat São Paulo this Saturday (11) in the match that opened the 11th round of the Brasileirão.

Cacá and Ramon found the net at Barradão.

São Paulo played much of the second half with one player fewer after Lucas Ramon was sent off, when the score was already 1-0.

The result moved Vitória away from the relegation zone and prevented Tricolor from closing in on the top of the table.

The match

São Paulo started better and spent more time in attack.

But Vitória were more efficient and opened the scoring from a set piece.

Ramon sent a free kick into the box, and the ball popped up for Cacá to finish into the net.

After the break, the situation quickly became more favorable for the home side.

Lucas Ramon was sent off after kicking Matheuzinho in the head, leaving São Paulo with one man fewer.

Vitória then had several chances to extend the lead on the counterattack and took one of them.

Baralhas produced a lovely backheel assist, and Ramon went through one-on-one with Rafael to seal the 2-0 scoreline.
