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 ...

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.

(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.

(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.
