Fluminense and Internacional face each other again on the night of this Wednesday (6). It's the return match for a spot in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil-2025. The ball will roll from 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. The winner will secure R$ 4.7 million in prize Situation 🆚 The 1-0 victory in Porto Alegre gives the Tricolor the advantage of a draw in front of their fans. The Colorado will only advance in regular time if they win by two goals difference. A positive result by one goal will lead to a penalty shootout. Inter won the 1992 edition of the Copa do Brasil by defeating Fluminense. The Tricolor, in turn, reached the final of the Libertadores, which they won in 2023, by overcoming the team from Rio Grande do Sul in the semi-final. Fluminense 🇭🇺 Renato Gaúcho has Freytes and Bernal back, who served a suspension in the last BR round. But Thiago Silva is out for at least a month after a grade two injury to the back of his right thigh. Renê has recovered, but Guga remains in the left-back position. Ganso starts on the bench. The lineup includes: Internacional 🇦🇹 Under pressure after recent results, Roger Machado has key returns: Vitão, who was suspended in the BR, and Alan Patrick. The number 10 of Colorado overcame a virus and will be a key player in the midfield. The big question was the tactical formation. There will be two defenders. 📸 Photo: Lucas Merçon/Fluminense This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here.

São Paulo on top, climb table, Fluminense sink deeper into crisis
At MorumBIS, São Paulo defeated Fluminense 3 x 1, this Sunday (27), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão 2025. The match was a true domination by the Paulista Tricolor and faithfully showed the difference between the teams this season. After all, São Paulo had two consecutive victories, while Fluminense accumulated four consecutive losses (including the one suffered against Chelsea, in the Club World Cup semifinal). With the ball rolling, the Paulista team didn't let the Tricolor das Laranjeiras breathe. Thus, after a corner kick in the area, the tricolor defense did not clear, and Luciano ran hard to prevent the ball from going out of bounds and crossed from the right, to the head of Arboleda, who jumped higher than Guga to open the score. This was the sixth participation in goals by São Paulo's number 10 in four games under Crespo's command. Still in the first half, Bobadilla shot from inside the box, the ball deflected off Freytes' knee and hit Martinelli's hand. Luciano took the penalty, but Fábio made a great save. The Paulista domination continued after the break. The hosts even had a goal disallowed at the beginning of the second half due to a deflection off Luciano's hand after Bobadilla's shot. The VAR appeared, once again, in sequence, when Ferreirinha headed to extend the lead. After analysis, the justification was "same line", or "blue line over the red line". Do you agree with the decision? When down by more on the scoreboard, coach Renato Gaúcho put some starters on the field (he had made eight changes from the last game), and Fluminense improved. In the final stretch, Samuel Xavier took the first rebound at the edge of the box, after São Paulo's defense partially cleared the cross, and scored for the Cariocas. In stoppage time, Guga - completing a disastrous match - lost the ball in midfield to Ferraresi, who assisted Gonzalo Tapia to enter the box alone and touch past Fábio to give the final numbers to the scoreboard with his first goal for the Paulista Tricolor.🚦 How it stands With the third consecutive victory, São Paulo reached 22 points and took the eighth position in the table. Fluminense, which accumulated the fourth consecutive defeat in the Brasileirão, remained with 20 points and fell to 11th place. The Carioca Tricolor returns to the field next Wednesday (30), when they visit Internacional, at Beira-Rio, for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. And the Paulista Tricolor hosts Athletico-PR, at MorumBIS, on Thursday (31), for the same tournament. For the Brasileirão, Fluminense plays next Saturday (2), when they host Grêmio, at Maracanã, while São Paulo visits Internacional, at Beira-Rio, on Sunday (3).

João Pedro doesn't celebrate goals for Chelsea, saying former team `gave everything to me'
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — João Pedro had just scored on a 20-yard curling shot in his first start for Chelsea, putting his team ahead in a Club World Cup semifinal less than a week after signing with the London power. He took two steps to start to celebrate and then he stopped. He clasped his hands. He muted his joy. He would not exhibit excessive exuberance against the team that developed him from a boy into a professional. 'When I was young, I didn't have nothing. They gave everything to me,' he said after his two goals lifted Chelsea over Fluminense 2-0 on Tuesday and into the Club World Cup final against Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain. João Pedro scored in the 18th and 56th minutes, both with his right foot, the first from just outside the penalty area and the second when he cut inside about 15 yards from goal. At 23, he is with a major club after starting in the Fluminense academy when he was 10 or 11, moving to Watford at 18 and then to Brighton when he was 21. He debuted with Brazil's national team in November 2023, but like many of his nation's top stars could make far greater money outside his country. 'It doesn't make sense for Brazil to try to compete with European clubs in terms of finances,' Fluminense coach Renato Gaúcho said through a translator. 'Brazilian clubs trade players and sell them to Europe so they can survive, and that's been true even since I was a player.' Top English clubs benefit from the Premier League's worldwide popularity and broadcast rights fees, and they join with their Spanish, German, Italian and French counterparts in the financial success of deep Champions League runs. João Pedro joined Chelsea from Brighton on July 2, signing with a six-time English titlist and two-time Champions League winner, a club one victory from its second world championship. In the glow of his success, he wasn't going to forget where he came from. 'They showed me to the world,' he said. 'If I'm here, it's because they believed in me, so I'm very grateful.' Chelsea signed him last Wednesday after he scored 19 goals in 58 Premier League matches for Brighton, and he debuted two days later as a 54th-minute substitute in the 2-1 quarterfinal victory over Palmeiras. Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton's former manager and now Marseille's coach, had recommended João Pedro to Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. 'The reason why we brought him is because this season we faced many teams with low block(s) and his quality is very good against this kind of team,' Maresca said. Chelsea striker Liam Delap was suspended for yellow-card accumulation, and Maresca inserted João Pedro. While most of Chelsea's roster has been training and playing almost continuously since last summer, João Pedro had not appeared in a game since April 19, a benefit in MetLife Stadium's stifling heat and humidity. 'He was on holiday,' Maresca said, 'so probably is a bit more fresh compared to the rest.' ___ AP soccer: and refused to celebrate either goal in a sign of respect for his former club. He joined Chelsea from Brighton on July 2. His first goal developed after German Cano lost the ball to him and he poked it to Pedro Neto. His teammate dribbled down a flank and crossed. The attempted clearance went directly to João Pedro, who curled a 20-yard shot inside the far post. João Pedro took two steps to start to celebrate, then stopped and clasped his hands. Chelsea doubled the lead after Facundo Bernal lost the ball just outside the Blues' penalty area to Pedro Neto, who poked the ball to Cole Palmer. He beat three challenges and dished off to Enzo Fernández, who side-footed a pass to João Pedro. He cut around Ignácio and scored off the underside of the crossbar. ___ AP soccer:
