🔍 Looking for another striker, Scaloni faces a big dilemma
Without a doubt, if there's one position that is more than covered, it's the center forward. Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez are two call-ups that everyone knows by Lionel Scaloni is still searching for a third 'number 9'. Someone who has the traditional characteristics of that position: great physical presence and a great finisher. For now, he's far from finding one. He has already called up Taty Castellanos and Santi Castro, but neither convinced him. The new bet goes by the name of "Flaco" López, Palmeiras' top scorer. With Verdao, he's having a great Copa Libertadores with five goals in five matches. Now, we'll have to see if he's up to the level of the national team.

Brasileirão matchweek 20: new runner-up, see the table 📊
The 20th round of Brasileirão-2025 came to a close on Monday night (18). And with only two home teams winning, compared to five visiting teams that emerged victorious. Playing at Maião, Cruzeiro took the lead with another goal from the competition's top scorer. But Mirassol managed to equalize 1-1 to remain unbeaten in front of their fans. See below how the duel unfolded, the updated BR table, and which matches are yet to come. Lethal duo, great goal, and more The first play that caught attention was José Aldo's handball inside the area. The sequence had Kaio Jorge and Matheus Pereira being lethal in just the fifth minute, when the number 10 celeste crossed for the center-forward - with plenty of freedom - to dominate and open the scoring. His 14th goal in the Brasileirão. Seven of them came after passes from the celeste waiter. The goal "conditioned" the celeste performance, which tried to take advantage of the spaces left by a Mirassol that was trying to find itself. The final stage saw a more objective Mirassol with the ball. And the goal came after Negueba took responsibility and beat Cássio with a beautiful goal (19'). The turnaround almost came in a chance by Matheus Bianchi. Raposa complained about Chico Kim's entry on Eduardo, and the final stretch was marked by attempts from both sides. But without more goals. UPDATED TABLE 📊 Cruzeiro lost the vice-leadership. They have only one win in their last five Brasileirão matches. Palmeiras (who have only played 18 games) took over second place. And leader Flamengo now has a four-point lead. Bahia was one of the big winners of the round, as they opened up an advantage over the fifth-placed team. And Mirassol, who is no longer a surprise, remains in the G-6. Previously fighting to stay in the G-4, Red Bull Bragantino continues to plummet. They have gone seven rounds without a win - and six consecutive defeats. Fluminense is the one reacting, having accumulated seven of the last nine points. And they will face Massa Bruta in the next round. Vasco's thrashing of Santos caused Vitória - who extended their positive result drought - to return to the Z-4. Sport saw their unbeaten streak increase. Now it's five rounds. But they remain stuck at the bottom.
