The ninth round of the 2025 Brasileirão began this Saturday (17th) with three matches. There were eight goals in total. SEVEN scored by foreign players. And a swap of giants in the competition’s relegation zone. In the first match of the day, Ceará defeated bottom-placed Sport to strengthen their impressive campaign. Argentinian Lucas Mugni and Paraguayan Galeno celebrated. Next up, Diniz’s Vasco and Vegetti steamrolled Fortaleza. Highlight for “Pirata” Vegetti, who once again shares the top scorer spot in the competition with Arrascaeta—both have seven goals each. The other goal for Vasco was scored by Portuguese player Nuno Moreira. São Paulo 🆚 Grêmio was the match that closed out the day. The team from Rio Grande do Sul took the lead with Chilean Aravena. SPFC’s equalizer came from Ecuadorian Arboleda. But it was André Silva, a Brazilian, who scored the comeback goal for the hosts.
