Vitória vs Coritiba

A dominant Vitória handed Coritiba a 4-1 thrashing at the Barradão in Round 14 of the Brasileirão, with a first-half red card turning an already comfortable afternoon into a convincing rout. Renê opened the scoring on 14 minutes, and Zé Vitor's 27th-minute strike made it 2-0 — moments after Coritiba's Tiago Cóser was sent off for hauling down Renê as the last defender. Pedro Rocha pulled one back in first-half added time, but Diego Tarzia and Erick — who converted a penalty following Maicon's handball — wrapped up a comprehensive victory in the second half. Vitória jumped from 13th to 8th with 18 points, a significant boost in their push to stay clear of the drop zone. For Coritiba, reduced to ten men for over an hour, the afternoon was a sobering reminder of how far they still have to go.
