The loss has seen Corinthians drop to 17th place in the Brazilian Serie A, a position that could lead to relegation at the end of the season. "The fight against relegation is not over yet," said Clarence Seedorf, Corinthians' trainer, after the match. Seedorf was unable to use Memphis Depay and Zakaria Labyad due to injuries, but André Ramalho started in the basis. Corinthians had taken the lead twice, but Vasco da Gama scored twice in the final minutes to win the match. The team has now lost nine consecutive matches in the league, with eight defeats and one draw. Seedorf and Corinthians will face Mirassol on October 31, a crucial match in their fight against relegation.
