The Brasileirão is back! Updated table shakes up the Z-4 and G-4

After a month-long break due to the Club World Cup, the Brasileirão returned this Saturday (12), with four games. 

Highlights include the solid victories of Flamengo and Botafogo and the thrilling triumphs of Inter and Bahia. 

Hulk scored an OLYMPIC WONDER GOAL, but Galo faltered in the end and ended up suffering a defeat.

Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo

After participating in the Club Cup, the Rubro-Negro demonstrated their strength against the Nation at Maracanã, maintaining their isolated lead, with one game in hand.

The 2 x 0 victory featured a wonder goal under the "law of the ex", a nasty injury to Ayrton Lucas, and a bombshell interview from coach Filipe Luís after the match, responding to questions about the sidelining of striker Pedro.

Internacional 1 x 0 Vitória

In the direct duel against the relegation zone, it was better for Colorado, who escaped from the Z-4 thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Bruno Tabata.

And it was precisely the Leão da Barra who took Inter's place in the Z-4.

Vasco 0 x 2 Botafogo

The Glorious overcame their early elimination in the Club Cup (round of 16) and bounced back with a big win in the Carioca classic, entering the G-6. 

The match was marked by the "debut" of Davide Ancelotti, who has not yet officially assumed as Botafogo's coach, but who was on the bench at Mané Garrincha assisting Cláudio Caçapa.

Bahia 2 x 1 Atlético-MG

The Tricolor de Aço debuted their new uniform in tribute to "superman", but ended up being punished by another superhero: Hulk!

The star and idol of Galo scored an OLYMPIC WONDER GOAL to make it 1 x 1 close to stoppage time!

However, in the last minute of the game, Michel Araújo secured a 2 x 1 victory for Bahia.
