Sao Paulo is rumbling, bumbling, stumbling out of the gate.

Sao Paulo has now dropped two matches in a row since the campeonato returned to action on July 14^th.

The World Cup break has been very unkind to the boys from Tricolor.

Vitoria flat out took names and kicked butt in 3-2 win over Sao Paulo.

Both Vitoria and Sao Paulo were tied one all at the break.

Leao then scored two goals in quick succession to take a 3-1 lead.

Tricolor added a goal late midway in the second half.

Sao Paulo is now in deep trouble.

Sure, this is only the ninth match of the season.

There are 28 matches left however if Sao Paulo continues to play this way it be a long season.

Vitoria opened up the scoring in the 13^th minute. Elkeson nailed a perfect header into open net for a 1-0 Leao lead.

Rogerio Ceni never had a chance.

A great crossing ball into the goalmouth by mate Egidio set up this goal.

Tricolor found the equalizer in the 36^th minute.

Jean fired a low rocket from just outside the top of the box into the back of the net.

Then Vitoria took the match by the throat.

Leao scored in the 47^th and 57^th minutes to salt this baby away.

Vitoria has now leap frogged all the way to eighth spot in the table with 12 points.

Sao Paulo is now in tenth place with 11 points.

Tricolor headman Ricardo the clown Gomes warned his side that Vitoria would take great advantage of their home turf. Leao did.

Globo Esporte- Durante a semana, o técnico Ricardo Gomes, do São Paulo, avisou que o Vitória sabia se aproveitar muito bem do mando de campo. E ele tinha razão. Na noite deste sábado, em partida válida pela nona rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, o time baiano foi superior na maior parte do tempo e fez 3 a 2 no clube paulista, ainda desorganizado no pós-Copa.

Both sides complained the pitch was a cow field. It stunk to high heaven after the rains hit Salvador in recent days.

Antes mesmo de a bola rolar no Barradão, os jogadores do São Paulo reclamaram do estado do gramado. Por conta das chuvas que atingiram Salvador nos últimos dias, a grama estava bem molhada e barrenta em alguns pontos. Mas no começo da partida, o campo parecia estar ruim apenas para o time paulista, já que os baianos foram para cima.

Vitoria took control of the match from the outset. Leao sliced and diced their way through the Tricolor vaulted “D”.

Rápido e muito bem organizado em campo, o Vitória dominava o São Paulo. Não à toa, o Tricolor não conseguia sair do campo de defesa. Melhor para o time rubro-negro, que marcou o terceiro aos 12. Ramon recebeu bom passe na grande área e bateu cruzado, sem chance para Rogério Ceni. Mas o time de Ricardo Gomes foi rápido na reação.

Vasco finally got off the schnid with a 3-1 win over Atletico-PR.

Gigante de Colina moves up one spot to 18^th with nine points.

Vasco is still in the drop zone. 

Sunday Mengao has a huge match with Atletico-MG.

We need to win this sucker.
