Jhon Arias scored one and created another as Palmeiras thrashed Vitória 4-0 in the Brasileiro Série A, with the result offering no clear next fixture.

The match turned decisively inside three first-half minutes when Vitória had two players sent off — Cacá received a straight red in the 37th minute following a VAR review, and Luan Cândido followed for a second yellow in the 40th minute — before Fabiano Silva and Maurício both struck in the 45th minute, Maurício's goal assisted by Jhon Arias. Arias then added a third himself in the 70th minute from Joaquín Piquerez's pass, and Ramón Sosa completed the rout in the 84th minute.

Palmeiras utterly controlled the game with 69% possession and 16 shots to Vitória's 10, and their 1.16 xG dwarfed the home side's 0.49 — Vitória, down to nine men from the 40th minute, were outplayed in every phase. Jhon Arias was the standout with a rating of 8.2 out of ten, scoring once from midfield. CheckLive's model rated Palmeiras marginally ahead, and the result confirmed that prediction.
