Another team that ensured changes was Red Bull Bragantino, which had two penalties to take in the 6-0 thrashing over Criciúma. This DOUBLED the number of penalties in their favor. There were two in the previous 25 matches. The other penalty awarded was for Palmeiras - which Estêvão converted on the rebound. See below all the Top-5 rankings released by Sofascore.

📋 With changes, Flamengo and Corinthians line up for the derby!
📋 With changes, Flamengo and Corinthians line up for the derby! This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Flamengo and Corinthians face off this Sunday (27th) at 4 PM (Brasília time) in the Superclássico at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 6th round of the Brasileirão 2025. Advertisement Mengão, currently second in the Série A with 11 points, comes from two goalless draws: one at the altitude of Quito against LDU and the other at Maracanã against Vasco. Timão, on the other hand, has seven points and is temporarily in ninth place on the table. They arrive boosted by two victories: a 2-1 win against Sport in the Brasileiro, and a 1-0 win over Racing in the South American Cup. A victory could take interim coach Orlando Ribeiro's team to the G4, surpassing Fluminense, currently fourth with 10 points, for example. Hired by Corinthians, coach Dorival Júnior will not debut this round but will be watching the match from a box at Maracanã. Advertisement Check out how each team is lined up for the big game! Flamengo Filipe Luís will have reinforcements: De La Cruz and Allan are back in the lineup. The Uruguayan, rested against LDU, is even starting, while Allan is an option on the bench. Additionally, Gonzalo Plata is a new addition and appears on the bench after missing the LDU match due to a bone edema in his right knee. Léo Pereira, who was also rested at the altitude of Quito for the Libertadores, returns among the starting eleven. Still without Alex Sandro, Ayrton Lucas will start. Bruno Henrique, who was expected to start, will be on the bench. Advertisement Pedro, on the other hand, is confirmed to start from the beginning. Check out the lineup: Rossi, Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, De la Cruz, Gerson, Arrascaeta, E. Cebolinha, and Pedro Corinthians Out of the last round due to suspension, Matheuzinho and José Martínez are available again. Matheuzinho is even starting, while Martínez is on the bench. One of the mysteries in Corinthians' lineup was whether Ángel Romero would start or not. The question was whether Martínez or Igor Coronado could take the Paraguayan's spot, but both are substitutes. Rodrigo Garro, undergoing treatment for pain in his right knee, is a miss for the São Paulo team. Advertisement See the lineup: Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, André Ramalho, and Angileri; Raniele, Breno Bidon, André Carrillo; Romero, Yuri Alberto, and Memphis Depay.

Neymar exits field in tears as injury woes continue
Neymar exits field in tears as injury woes continue Show Caption Hide Caption Relegation in MLS? Tyler Adams thinks it should be added USMNT and Premiere League player Tyler Adams thinks relegation would make the MLS as a whole more exciting and competitive for the players and fans. Sports Seriously Neymar's injury woes continued on Wednesday, as the Santos star exited a match against Atlético Mineiro with an apparent muscle issue. The 33-year-old started the Série A match, but lasted just 30 minutes before he began to grab his left hamstring. Neymar was in tears as he received treatment on the pitch, eventually moving onto a cart and being driven off the field at Urbano Caldeira Stadium. He was replaced in the 34th minute with Santos leading 2-0, which ended up as the final score. "It's still too early to give any definitive answer, we don't have a diagnosis yet," said Santos coach César Sampaio after the game. "Now we really have to pray that it's not something that will keep him out for a long time." After making a successful return to his boyhood club, Neymar was called up to Brazil's national team in March. It was his first call-up since October 2023, when he tore his ACL and meniscus while playing for the Seleção. But a left thigh injury ruled the veteran striker out for international duty, as well as Santos' Campeonato Paulista semifinal loss to Corinthians. Neymar was making his first start since returning from the injury on Wednesday. There will now be questions over whether the superstar was brought back too soon. Neymar officially returned to Santos in January, signing as a free agent after terminating his contract with Al Hilal. After the Saudi side paid a reported €90 million transfer fee for Neymar, his time with the club was blighted by injury. Between his knee injury and muscular issues, the striker made just seven appearances over 18 months. Watch Neymar leave pitch with injury

Brazilian Série A Title Contenders Drop Points On Opening Day
Wallace Yan of Flamengo argues with Thiago Maia of Internacional during the match between Flamengo ... More and Internacional as part of Brasileirao 2025 at Maracana Stadium on March 29, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by) It was a slow start to the season for clubs from São Paulo state. Four Paulista sides took to the field this weekend but none of them could manage to win on matchday one of the Brazilian Série A season. Corinthians lifted the Paulista state championship on Thursday night against bitter city rivals Palmeiras, but maybe this tie came too close to the start of the national league season for both teams. On Sunday Palmeiras drew at home to Botafogo and Corinthians drew away against Bahia. Estêvão (L) of Palmeiras and Artur of Botafogo compete for the ball during the Campeonato Brasileiro ... More Série A football match between Palmeiras and Botafogo at Allianz Parque on March 30, 2025 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (Photo by Marco Galvão/Sports) São Paulo stumbled at home against Sport, missing a fantastic opportunity to kickstart a title charge amidst massive excitement from home fans in the build up to this game. Neymar was missing for Santos, who travelled to Rio de Janeiro to take on Vasco da Gama, but was beaten 2-1 after a second half comeback from the hosts. It's fair to say that all four Paulista sides held their own in their respective season openers, but all four of these big clubs failed to earn a victory. Head Coach Mano Menezes of Fluminense looks on during the match between Flamengo and Fluminense as ... More part of Second Leg of Campeonato Carioca 2025 Final at Maracana Stadium on March 16, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by) Flamengo is favourite to lift the Brazilian title this year, but the team could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to Internacional of Porto Alegre on Saturday evening. A defensive line of five made the visitors very hard to break down and the home crowd were left frustrated by an opening day draw. This result is far from a disaster though, as key Flamengo players had just returned from a busy international break, and visitors Inter are also considered title contenders. Flumiense left Rio for an away day at Fortaleza this weekend and it couldn't have gone much worse. 'Flu' lost the opener 2-0 and didn't play well at all. Then in the early hours of Sunday morning manager Mano Menezes was sacked as first team coach. The comical timing of his dismissal saw Fluminense left without a coach before many other teams had even started their first league game. Pablo Vegetti of Vasco celebrates after scoring his team's second goal during the Campeonato ... More Brasileiro Serie A match between Vasco da Gama and Santos at Sao Januario Stadium on March 30, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by André Ricardo/Sports) Botafogo drew away to Palmeiras; both teams were huge title rivals across the last two seasons but will have to settle for a point to start off this new season. Finally, Vasco was the only Rio based club to kick off the new year with a victory, defeating Santos 2-1 at home. Aside from Vasco da Gama, the only side from Rio or São Paulo to win on opening day, only two more teams from Brazil's famous big 12 registered three points. Meaning that nine of the big 12 failed to win. This goes to show the competitive nature of the Brazilian first division. These results weren't even massive upsets. There are very big match-ups being played week in and week out in what is one of the most difficult leagues to play in on the planet, this means the big contenders will drop points more often than in some other leagues. Marquinhos (R) of Cruzeiro leaves the field after the match between Cruzeiro and Mirassol as part of ... More Brasileirao 2025 at Mineirão Stadium on March 29, 2025 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. (Photo by) Cruzeiro managed a 2-1 home victory, as expected, against Mirassol and Grêmio picked up a 2-1 home win in very impressive fashion against another title contender and big 12 team; Atlético Mineiro. The title won't be won for a long time in this Brazilian Série A season, but matchday one results show you why this is often a rollercoaster of a campaign, and why, like last season, it isn't exactly shocking if the championship goes down to the very last day.
