Neymar Steals The Show And Palmeiras Defeats Fluminense
Neymar was the star of the show a week ago against Flamengo, but he argued with fans and had a late ... More equaliser disallowed against Internacional on Wednesday. It's been another rollercoaster midweek of Brazilian Série A action. Neymar is the centre of attention in Santos, Flamengo and Palmeiras close the gap on first place Cruzeiro and Club World Cup hero Fluminense loses again. Neymar Shock In Santos Defeat Santos lost 2-1 at home to Internacional on Wednesday night. This result follows a weekend defeat at Mirassol as Santos return to the relegation zone, just days after a massive win at home against Flamengo. Neymar scored a late winner in that victory over Flamengo, and he nearly scored a late equaliser for Santos last night. Inter goalkeeper Sergio Rochet parried Neymar's late left-footed strike onto the post, and the ball rolled across the goal line. Rochet recovered just in time to keep the ball out, snatching it off the line and keeping Inter ahead. Meanwhile Neymar was already running down the line to celebrate. He kicked the corner flag into two pieces for good measure. Perhaps Neymar hoped that celebrating hard and fast enough would convince the officials to ignore the fact that the ball clearly didn't cross the line. After the 2-1 defeat Neymar completed a crazy week by arguing with a few of the home fans. Neymar approached the touchline, received some abuse from Santos fans, and gave some back. Expletives were exchanged until Neymar decided to walk away after another rollercoaster matchday for the Brazilian superstar. Palmeiras Wins, Fluminense Struggles Palmeiras and Flamengo both won away from home on Wednesday night to close the gap on league leader Cruzeiro. Flamengo is one point behind Cruzeiro with a game in hand, and Palmeiras is five points behind Cruzeiro with two games in hand. The title race is heating up.

Fans heckled the team and sang against the club hierarchy despite 'Flu' returning home from the FIFA 2025 Club World Cup as heroes just over a week ago. Brazilian football proves it has no mercy once again. Even Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira said the Fluminense fans reacted unfairly in his post-match press conference. Wesley Strikes Late For Flamengo Flamengo won 2-1 away at RB Bragantino. Wesley scored the winning goal in the 85th minute in what might be his last game for the club.

The side from Belo Horizonte couldn't make it four league wins in a row. A dull match saw both teams struggle to create chances, with neither managing even one expected goal. Elsewhere In Brazil Some of the biggest headlines come from the 'smaller teams' in Brazil this midweek. Mirassol has moved up to seventh in the table and made it seven games undefeated. An impressive return for a team that was playing in the second division last year. Mirassol defeated Ceará 2-0 away last night after smashing Santos 3-0 at home this weekend. Sport, who is rock-bottom of the league, picked up just their fourth point of the season last night. Late drama filled this 2-2 draw away to Vitória.. Sport made it 1-1 in 89th minute, Vitória thought they won the game with another goal in the 94th, but miraculously, Sport struck again when Romarinho scored a second equaliser in the 99th minute. The 31 year-old came off the bench to score both goals for the visitors.

🫤 In a dull match, Corinthians and Cruzeiro settle for a draw
At the Neo Química Arena, Corinthians and Cruzeiro drew 0 x 0, this Wednesday (23), for the 16th round of the Brasileirão 2025. The game was heated, especially in the first half, with strong divides and fight for every ball. But of little creativity. The Fox had two good chances with Kaio Jorge, while Timão scared in a free kick from Memphis Depay, which Cássio - in his first match against the club where he is an idol, defended. After the break, the scenario did not change much. Kaiki and Matheus Pereira almost scored for Cruzeiro in bombs that Hugo defended. Corinthians, which created little and practically did not scare Cássio, arrived with danger in the strong finish from outside the area of Depay, but the celestial goalkeeper defended. The Dutchman almost opened the score in the final minute, but Cássio sent it to the corner. In the sequence of the move, Villalba took a header on the line.🚦 Where it stands With the result, Cruzeiro remained at the top, now with 34 points. Corinthians continued in tenth place with 20 points. Timão returns to the field on Saturday (26), when it visits Botafogo, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, while the Fox hosts Ceará, at Mineirão, on Sunday (27).

Barbosa double fires Cruzeiro to 4-0 win over Juventude
Rio De Janeiro, July 21 (UNI) Gabriel Barbosa struck two second-half goals as leaders Cruzeiro cruised to a 4-0 home win over Juventude in Brazil's Serie A championship. '' Christian Cardoso put the hosts ahead by volleying home from close range and Barbosa doubled the lead with an assured finish following Kaio Jorge's cross on Sunday. Barbosa converted from the penalty spot after Marcos Paulo stamped on Kaio Jorge while contesting a loose ball. Carlos Eduardo completed the rout in stoppage time, latching onto Yannick Bolasie's nodded pass to send a looping header into the top-left corner. The result leaves Cruzeiro with 33 points from 15 games, three points ahead of second-placed Flamengo, while Juventude sits 18th, 22 points further back. Despite his team's impressive start to the season, Barbosa said talk of a title challenge was premature. "I've won two Brazilian Serie A titles and I know that nobody is champion after 15 rounds," the former Flamengo striker said. "There is a long way to go. No team is going to be thinking about the title at this stage of the season. We are taking things game by game. Our next game against Corinthians on Wednesday is going to be tough away from home and we're going to do our best to win." In other Brazilian Serie A fixtures on Sunday, Flamengo won 1-0 at home to Fluminense, Palmeiras prevailed 3-2 at home to Atletico Mineiro, Botafogo won 1-0 at Sport Recife, Vitoria edged Bragantino 1-0 at home and Internacional beat Ceara 1-0 in Porto Alegre.

In redemption, Pedro secures Flamengo win over Fluminense
At Maracanã, Flamengo defeated Fluminense 1-0 this Sunday (20), wrapping up the 15th round of the Brasileirão 2025. The first half of the classic was weak and lacked excitement. The Rubro-Negro had greater ball possession, but the Tricolor defense was well-positioned, waiting for a counterattack. Fla did not shoot on goal during the initial 45 minutes, and Flu posed a bit more danger, although they didn't have any truly clear chances. The game after the break took a while to "get going," but the Rubro-Negro posed a significant threat with a header from Léo Ortiz (12'), which Fábio saved. After two games "benched" for not training well, according to coach Filipe Luís, who even gave a "bombshell interview" criticizing him, Pedro entered the field in the final stage. At the end of the game, the striker managed to win a corner after leaving Freytes on the ground and forcing Fábio to make a great save. From the corner, after a deflection at the near post, Pedro slid in almost under the crossbar to secure Flamengo's victory.🚦 Current Standings With the victory, Flamengo reached 30 points and prevented the leader Cruzeiro (33 points) from pulling away. Meanwhile, Fluminense, with their second consecutive defeat, remained with 20 points and dropped to eighth place. The Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (23), when they visit RB Bragantino in the interior of São Paulo, while the Tricolor das Laranjeiras hosts Palmeiras at Maracanã on the same day.
