Atlético-MG’s defeat to Palmeiras by 3 to 0, this Monday, leaves São Paulo with the better use of the first round of the Brazilian Championship.
The tricolor of São Paulo has three fewer games in the competition (duels against Goiás, Botafogo and Ceará, still without scheduled dates), but was 30 points behind with the victory last Sunday, against Flamengo, by 4 to 1, and adds a 62 advantage ,5%.
Leader and vice-leader of Brasileirão, Internacional and Flamengo have 61.4%. Both, however, played all 19 games of the turn. They add 35 points each.
See the five best uses of the Brazilian Championship:
- São Paulo – 62.5% (16 games)
- International – 61.4% (19 games)
- Flamengo – 61.4% (19 games)
- Atlético-MG – 59.3% (18 games)
- Fluminense – 56.1% (19 games)

With 30 points, São Paulo can still be the champion of the round if it wins at least two of its three games late. That would make him overtake Internacional and Flamengo.
The games, however, do not yet have dates to be played. Tricolor returns to the field for Brasileirão next Saturday, at 7pm, in Morumbi, to face Goiás, for the 20th matchday.
