The enormous difference in technical quality between the squads became visible in less than 15 minutes.
After a short corner and then a perfect cross from Piquerez from the left, the defender Murilo appeared as a striker in the box to head firmly and open the score. I
t didn't take long, and Maurício advanced at speed on the right until he crossed for Facundo Torres to extend the lead.
After the break, each team had a goal disallowed for offside, so the score was not changed anymore.
🚦 How it stands
With the victory, the leader Palmeiras reached 15 points in Group G. With a 100% record and already qualified, Verdão also secured the best overall placement in the Libertadores, which guarantees them to decide at home until the semifinals.
Bolívar remained at the bottom with three points and is now eliminated, fighting only to be forwarded to the playoffs of the round of 16 of the South American.
The São Paulo team ends its participation in the first phase on May 28, when it receives Sporting Cristal, at Allianz Parque.
Palmeiras returns to the field on Sunday (18), when it visits RB Bragantino, at Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium, for the ninth round of the Brasileirão 2025.

The docuseries ‘Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' isn't bad, except the Tom Brady parts
Well, here's the basic timeline. Appreciated every extraordinary thing he did on the field during his 20 years with the Patriots … recognized he was getting weird on us with stuff like the Alex Guerrero connection, offensively overpriced TB12 gear, and the no-mushroom policy, but hey, his unprecedented late-career excellence made for a heck of a case on his behalf … cringed when the formerly down-to-earth young QB who used to chug beers faster than his linemen started pushing crypto and running with the oligarch class… watched almost every broadcast of his rookie season as Fox's lead NFL analyst last fall, eventually concluding that the reason he didn't show much personality is that it might not be there to show … But the tipping point that brought on the aforementioned realization was Brady's behavior in his version of a current trend among the rich, famous, and presumably bored — buying an English soccer team, and making a documentary about it in which the star is the rescuing hero. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' is a five-episode docuseries that debuted at the end of July on Amazon Prime. It's about a Champions League soccer team (the second tier in English soccer, below the Premier League) that Brady and his private equity pal Tom Wagner recognize as an undervalued asset (always heart-warming when vultures find their food) and purchase, with Brady taking on minority ownership but with full boss duties. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham' is not bad at all. The city (gritty, industrial, and full of amusingly blunt fans that will remind you of specific Ted Lasso side characters), players (the third episode, featuring star player Jay Stansfield's back story, is the best in the series), and the team (whose history roughly resembles the Red Sox' from 1919-2003) are compelling. The problem is it's far less interesting when Brady is around. He speaks to the players in bromides and banalities — 'We practice like it's the Super Bowl' — about his time with the Patriots (and Bucs), which he seems to presume these futbol players know from A to Z and XXXVI to LV. He punctuates his Cliff Notes Tony Robbins proclamations with a specific expletive so often that it's a wonder it hasn't slipped through on a Fox broadcast. Related : When he is involved, Brady — who describes his role as 'being there in a visionary role' — only seems authentic when he's belittling something or angry. He joins his friends in talking condescendingly about the city and the team as they're on he way to see the Blues' aged facilities for the first time. Before a game against Wrexham — famously owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney — Brady tells the camera, 'Let's go get a [expletive] win against Wrexham ... Ryan Reynolds, Mackilrey, whatever your [expletive] name is.' Advertisement When Wagner informs Brady that putting together a swag bag for visiting legend David Beckham would be considered a faux pas — Beckham never played for the team — Brady gets a look on his face that suggests Joey Galloway just ran the wrong route again. He tells Wagner through a scowl that Beckham should be gifted something anyway. He likes to talk about how he was an underdog, but he comes across as someone who can no longer remember what that was like, or what he was like. The most off-putting scene occurred in the opening episode when Brady, Wagner, and his team strategized in the back of an SUV before popping into a local pub to meet some fans for a quick public-relations opportunity and a few more Lasso vibes. 'We have to feel this one out, boys,'' Brady says. 'This is not my thing.' He's told it will only be 15 minutes. He asks if he'll be signing autographs. The pop-in is designed to make him look like a man of the people. He's friendly enough once he's in the pub, but we know how he really feels. His people these days aren't the ones chugging beers. I was hoping while watching the series that Brady might have a revelation by the fifth episode, ditch the processed corporate speak, abandon the arrogant expectation that whatever he says carries weight because of what he accomplished in the NFL, and show some authentic emotion, like he did after winning those first few Super Bowls. I was hoping any success he found in Birmingham would remind him of his best times with the Patriots, and thereby bring out genuine emotions. Related : Advertisement Instead, that happened with, of all people, Wagner, the calculating investor, who by the end is fully invested in the people on this team. I won't spoil the circumstances, because this show is worth watching, despite the Brady frustrations. In the fifth episode, Wagner makes a truly stirring and heartfelt speech, and as I was watching it, I couldn't help but think, 'Man, when the private-equity guy can summon more passion than Tom Brady, that's awfully damning.' Hmmm. Maybe Fox should give Wagner a shot as its lead NFL analyst. Tom Brady comes back to Gillette Stadium for the unveiling of this statue before the New England Patriots preseason game versus the Washington Commanders. Chad Finn can be reached at

Wayne Rooney takes issue with Tom Brady questioning his work ethic
Tom Brady does a lot of things. One thing he does is partially own an English soccer club. Another thing he does is a documentary based on his partial ownership of said English soccer club. Birmingham City, during Brady's first season, hired Wayne Rooney as the manager. Rooney didn't last long. Along the way, Brady is heard in the documentary questioning Rooney's work ethic. Rooney recently responded, on his self-titled BBC podcast. 'I think Tom came in once, which was the day before a game where the days are a little bit lighter anyway, and I don't think he really understood football that well,' Rooney said, via 'But what he does understand is, he's a hard worker, we know that.' We definitely know that. The question is whether Brady has spread himself so thin that, currently, there's no craft he can master the way he mastered his chosen sport. 'Football is not NFL,' Rooney said, comparing his chosen sport to Brady's. 'NFL works for three months a year. Players do need rest as well, so I think he's very unfair, the way he's come out and portrayed that. . . . 'Listen, I respect Tom Brady massively,' Rooney said. 'He's one of the greatest, if not the greatest athletes of all time and Birmingham do look like they're getting it right now, which is good and I think what they have done is got the players out that they needed to get out.' Presumably, the players who lacked the necessary skills. And/or the requisite work ethic.

The Seagulls host the Cottagers at the Amex Stadium, hoping to get an early three points on the board after beating Fulham for the first time as a Premier League outfit when these teams last met. Marco Silva's men managed to go more than six years without losing a top-flight game against Brighton before the west Londoners finally lost that record this past March. And Fabian Hurzeler will aim to make it back-to-back home wins over the same opponent following a very fruitful summer for the south-coast club. The Seagulls are sailing into the new season with a transformed squad, most notably without Joao Pedro in their attack following his $70 million transfer to Chelsea. Among the new faces hoping to make an impact are Greek forward Charalampos Kostoulas and Belgian defender Maxim De Kuyper. Fulham, on the other hand, has yet to complete a single outfield signing, with French goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte being the only new signing of the summer period thus far. That being said, Silva has retained much of the same group that defeated Brighton on home soil last season and is hoping to repeat the feat in Falmer this weekend.
