The Paulista Lion thus joins Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Cruzeiro.
Botafogo, Fluminense, and Bahia are fighting for the last direct spot in the continental tournament.
The Cruz-Maltino, on the other hand, remained in 11th place and, with 45 points, has not yet mathematically escaped the risk of relegation, as Internacional (41 points and in 17th place) could still surpass the Carioca team.
In the last round, next Sunday (7), Mirassol hosts Flamengo at Maião, while Vasco visits Atlético-MG at Arena MRV.
The Giant of the Hill, however, is in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil and can qualify for the Libertadores if they win the title.
