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.
