Vitória see off 10-man São Paulo with 2–0 home win in Brasileirão

EC Vitória secured a valuable 2–0 home win over São Paulo FC on Matchday 11 of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A on 11 April 2026, capitalising on a second-half red card to the visitors.

The breakthrough arrived in the 35th minute. Cacá finished clinically to put Vitória in front, after being set up by Nathan. The goal gave the hosts a platform and a 1–0 lead to protect heading into half-time.

São Paulo’s task became significantly harder after the interval. In the 54th minute, Lucas Ramon was shown a straight red card, leaving the away side down to 10 men for the final stretch. The dismissal came after São Paulo had already picked up a yellow card for Marcos Antônio on 37 minutes.

Vitória made use of their numerical advantage and managed the game through a series of substitutions, including the introductions of Zé Vitor, Carlos Renê and Diego Tarzia. São Paulo responded with changes of their own, bringing on Cédric, Perivan, Gonzalo Tapia, Wendell and later Lucca Marques in an attempt to chase the game.

The decisive second goal arrived in the 83rd minute. Ramon struck to double Vitória’s lead, finishing an attack created by Gabriel Baralhas, whose assist capped a strong individual contribution.

The closing minutes were marked by further disciplinary action. Diego Tarzia and Baralhas were booked for Vitória, while Perivan and Rafael Tolói received yellow cards for São Paulo as frustration grew on the visiting side.

With this result, Vitória claimed all three points in front of their home fans, while São Paulo left empty-handed after a night shaped by Cacá’s opener, Ramon’s late strike and the pivotal red card to Lucas Ramon.
