With this result, Grêmio returns to scoring points after two defeats and is now 11th in the standings with 12 points. Remo moves out of last place and now has seven points, as does Cruzeiro, coached by Artur Jorge, who lost the previous day against São Paulo . Mirassol, defeated at home by Bragantino at the same time as Grêmio’s game, is now 20th and last in the standings with six points.
The night was also marked by the victory of Palmeiras, coached by Portuguese manager Abel Ferreira , which reinforced their lead in the Brazilian Championship.
