Botafogo, Fluminense, and Bahia are fighting for the last direct spot in the continental tournament.
Vasco, on the other hand, stayed in 11th place and, with 45 points, is not yet mathematically safe from the risk of relegation, as Internacional (41 points and in 17th place) could still surpass the Rio team.
