Gigante relieved as G-4 stays the same after postponed matches, see table

The night of this Wednesday (24) featured two postponed matches from the 16th round of the 2025 Brasileirão.

Vasco ended a drought of more than four months without a home victory in the Brasileirão by defeating Bahia 3-1.

Meanwhile, in Porto Alegre, Botafogo took the lead. But saw Grêmio come back for a 1-1 draw with a goal by Tiago Volpi. 

There were plenty of controversial moments at São Januário in the first half. But only one sending off, that of Jean Lucas.

Bahia took the lead after a mistake in Vasco's build-up play, which Sanabria capitalized on (31'). But Coutinho equalized before halftime (46'). 

Vasco's comeback came with a header from Puma Rodríguez (60'). The third goal was an own goal by Juba (77'). 

It had been six games (or more than four months) without a win in front of their home fans in the Brasileirão. 

This result moved Vasco away from the relegation zone (Z-4).

Meanwhile, Tricolor suffered its fourth consecutive round without a win. 

In Porto Alegre, Grêmio struggled to get past Léo Linck, who starred with some great saves.

It was Botafogo who took the lead after Marlon Freitas found Cuiabano, who enforced the "ex-player rule" (53').

The second half saw chances for both sides. 

Then VAR was called to indicate a penalty by Matheus Martins.

Tiago Volpi converted (90'), repeating the scene seen against Flamengo.

And preventing Grêmio from going four straight home games without scoring.
