See below the goals of the match on Wednesday:The game Fluminense started the game better, not letting Palmeiras play and appearing more in the attacking field. Soteldo stood out with good plays on the left wing and from him came the first decisive play of the game. The Venezuelan crossed the ball into the area and found Freytes, who suffered a foul from Facundo Torres inside the area. Germán Cano went to take the penalty and opened the scoring. Palmeiras was muted in the attack and had not finished on target until the first half's stoppage time. Suddenly, they received a contribution from Fábio. Maurício received a cross from Sosa in the penalty area and headed without much force, in the direction of the goalkeeper. He seemed to be in great condition to make a simple save, but let the ball escape and saw it hit the net. Fluminense continued to give gifts after the interval. Right at the beginning of the second half, a wrong pass in the defensive field made Palmeiras start a quick attack, with Vitor Roque leaving Facundo Torres face to face with the goal. The Uruguayan had the finish defended by Fábio and Palmeiras' attackers were unable to take advantage of the rebound. Shortly after, a new gift turned into a goal. Martinelli made a wrong pass near Fluminense's defensive penalty area and left Vitor Roque in great condition to invade the area and turn the score around. Fluminense pressured and sought their second goal in the game after falling behind. But Weverton didn't have to work much and Palmeiras held the victory, even with one player less on the field. Allan was sent off already in the final stage's stoppage time.

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.
