Flamengo take the lead but sit back late on, held to a draw by Ceará
At the Arena Castelão, Flamengo and Ceará drew 1-1, on Sunday (3), in the 18th round of the 2025 Brasileirão. In the first half, the Rubro-Negro was dominant, having 75% of ball possession, although they didn't pose much danger to the opposing goalkeeper. Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique, and Samuel Lino, in fact, had good chances to score. However, the advantage on the scoreboard was achieved in a great collective play, with Léo Ortiz giving the pass in the area from above, Gonzalo Plata giving the headed assist, and Arrascaeta (36') scoring with a first-time shot. This was the 14th goal of the Uruguayan star with the Rubro-Negro shirt, in 36 games in the season. And a detail: since the elimination in the Club World Cup, on June 29, Flamengo had not scored a goal in the first half. On that occasion, however, the result was 4-2 for Bayern Munich. After the interval, Ceará left aside the strategy of playing closed and seeking the counter-attack and went after the visitors. Lucas Mugni, who entered the field after the break, hit the post (10') and took the corner kick that Pedro Raul (21') headed in, rising higher than the defenders to equalize. The center-forward, who scored his 13th goal of the year, counted on the strange exit of goalkeeper Rossi.🚦 How it stands The draw was enough for Flamengo to reach 37 points and retake the lead, which had been with Cruzeiro (37 points) for a few hours, after a win over Botafogo. With one game less than Raposa, the cariocas are ahead due to a better goal difference (24 x 19). Ceará, in turn, reached 22 points and stayed in tenth place. Rubro-Negro returns to the field next Wednesday (6), when they visit Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV, for the return leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. In the first leg, Galo won 1-0. In the Brasileirão, Flamengo hosts Mirassol, at Maracanã, on Saturday (9), to close the first round. Vozão visits Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque, on Sunday (10).

Orlando Pride's Marta scores brace to help Brazil defend Copa America Femenina title
Brazil win Copa America Femenina Defeated Colombia in penalties after 4-4 draw Marta scored last-gasp regulation equalizer Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Brazil were crowned champions of the Copa America Femenina, defeating Colombia 5-4 in penalties after a 4-4 draw across regulation and extra time. Las Canarinhas legend Marta scored twice in the match, leading her country to a dramatic defense of their Copa America title. Colombia led three times throughout regulation, but in stoppage time as the final seconds ticked, Marta scored a long-range effort to send the match to extra time at 3-3. She proceeded to score again in the overtime period, but Colombia drew level shortly thereafter, to send the match to penalties. Marta's penalty attempt was saved, but the reigning champions remained resilient and came out on top 5-4. "I think women's soccer has been growing a lot. I think the trend is for it to be more competitive. Everyone here deserved a match like this. Congratulations to Colombia too," Brazil's Amanda Gutierres said after the match Saturday night. "This means a lot. I think it's Brazil's job. It's that mentality of never giving up. That's a source of pride for Brazil. I think it means a lot to Brazilians." WATCH MARTA'S GOALS THE BIGGER PICTURE Marta had initially retired from international soccer after Brazil took the silver medal at the 2024 Olympics, but in the spring, she was recalled to the national team squad for a pair of pre-tournament friendlies. A six-time FIFA Player of the Year, her final performance single-handedly helped Brazil retain their trophy. Across her storied career, she has now scored 122 international goals in 213 games. Marta was awarded the trophy for the Player of the Tournament. WHAT NEXT? By reaching the final, both Brazil and Colombia automatically qualifed to represent South America at the 2028 women's soccer tournament in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. As South American champions, Brazil will take on England in the UEFA-CONMEBOL showpiece match, the Finalissima. In 2023, England won the first edition, defeating Brazil in penalty kicks at Wembley Stadium.
