🤯 Vasco thrash Santos at MorumBIS with a flood of goals
At MorumBIS, with over 50,000 fans in attendance, Vasco is HUMILIATING Santos this Sunday (17th), with a historic 6-0 thrashing in a match valid for the 20th round of the 2025 Brasileirão. In the first half, after Peixe started off better, the Gigante da Colina opened the scoring when Nuno Moreira crossed from the right, and Lucas Piton (18') appeared at the far post like a center forward to head the ball in. VAR was called to check if the ball had gone out of bounds at the start of the play, but the goal was confirmed. Santos was awarded a penalty for a foul by Paulo Henrique on Guilherme, but after VAR review, the striker was ruled offside in the play. But after halftime, the Vasco show began and the Santos nightmare started. In a span of 10 minutes, David (6') struck first-time in the box to extend the lead, Coutinho finished off a deadly counterattack, Rayan converted a penalty, Coutinho (16') played a one-two with DVD and chipped in for the fifth goal. Wasting no time, six minutes later, Tchê Tchê played a one-two with David and also entered the box alone to chip in and score the sixth. A large part of the Santos fans left MorumBIS en masse. Those who stayed, after chanting "olé" in favor of Vasco and shouting "shameless team," turned their backs to the field. The 6-0 (so far) is the biggest thrashing in the 98-year history of this matchup. Previously, each team had beaten the other 5-1. Vasco had not won in the Brasileirão since June 12, when they beat São Paulo 3-1 at MorumBIS itself. Santos, on the other hand, had NEVER lost by more than four goals as the home team in the Brasileirão. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Corinthians lose to Bahia, winless in Brasileirão for six games
Last Saturday (16), Corinthians lost to Bahia by 2-1, at Neo Química Arena, for the 20th round of Brasileirão 2025. The first half in Itaquera was pure madness! Tricolor in the lead with less than two minutes, VAR protagonist canceling a goal and validating another after almost ten minutes, in addition to a "lightning" penalty. You can see in detail the "madness" that was the first half of an hour by clicking here! Corinthians returned from the break with more possession of the ball to seek the tie. But the São Paulo team found great difficulty not only in creating plays, but also in finishing. Bahia, in turn, bet on a counter-attack to kill the game. The best opportunity in the second half was when Talles Magno shot with force after a pass from Matheus Bidu in the area, but Ronaldo made a small miracle.🚦 How it stands With the result, Bahia reached 33 points and remained in fourth place, ensuring its stay in the G-4 for another round. Corinthians, in turn, reached its sixth consecutive Brasileirão game without winning, remaining with 22 points and in 13th place. In the last 11 games in the national championship, only one victory for the São Paulo team. Timão returns to the field only next Sunday (24), when they visit Vasco, at São Januário, for the 21st round of Brasileirão. Bahia receives Ceará, on Wednesday (20), for the Copa do Nordeste.
