🏆 Atlético and Flu march on in the Sula, six Brazilians already knocked out
It was a struggle, but Galo qualified by eliminating Atlético Bucaramanga, on penalties, this Thursday (24).
Meanwhile, the Tricolor Carioca was the only Brazilian club to secure its spot directly in the round of 16.
🤔 What happened to the others?
Bahia, Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Vasco, and Vitória were eliminated, either in the group stage or in the round of 16 playoffs, and were left behind.
🧐 Any surprises?
Yes. Grêmio and Cruzeiro had strong, "cup-fighter" squads and high expectations, but they failed to advance.
Corinthians also disappointed, both in the Libertadores and in the South American group stage.
And now? Atlético and Fluminense carry Brazil's hopes in the tournament. The knockout stage promises to be exciting!
Galo faces Godoy Cruz, while the Tricolor das Laranjeiras takes on América de Cali.

Amanda Ribas says facial surgery required after TKO loss at UFC on ABC 9
Amanda Ribas' body language as she fell to the canvas in a TKO loss to Tabatha Ricci at UFC on ABC 9 was the result of some serious damage. After a competitive strawweight fight for nearly eight minutes on Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, Ricci (12-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) unleashed a pinpoint elbow to the right eye socket of Ribas (12-7 MMA, 7-6 UFC) during an exchange on the clinch. The Brazilian immediately showed signs of distress after it landed, then moments later she was curled up as the referee pulled her opponent off. It was a significant shot from Ricci, because Ribas revealed in the hours after the fight that she suffered facial damage to the point that surgery will be required and a plate will have to be inserted (via X): It wasn't the result I wanted, but I know it's what I love! It's where I love to be, it's where it makes my eyes shine, and I get paid very well for it. Thank you to God for the opportunity to work with what I love and to @ufc.I'm going to have surgery soon, on top of the one I already had on my facial bone. God continues to be wonderful to me and is in control. Prayers. 🙏🏼❤️🥰 According to Ribas, this is not the first time such a surgery will be required, but she maintained her trademark positive attitude despite the difficult moment. With the result, the 31-year-old is on a three-fight losing skid for the first time and hasn't seen her hand raised since October 2023. Ribas did not provide a specific timeline for her recovery and when she could potentially make an octagon return.

Lottie Woad, a former Florida State star, wins the Women's Scottish Open in her pro debut
IRVINE, Scotland (AP) — Lottie Woad tapped in one final birdie, plucked the ball out of the cup and gave a simple wave to the crowd as if she had done this before. The English star made it look easy Sunday when she won the Women's Scottish Open in her professional debut. Woad never flinched when Hyo Joo Kim made a charge on a windy day at Dundonald Links, closing with a 4-under 68 for a three-shot victory. Woad is the second player in three years to win on the LPGA Tour in her pro debut, following Rose Zhang in the Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National in 2023. Woad finished at 21-year 267 and earned $300,000. 'I think it's quite hard to do that, but very special to win in my first event,' Woad said. 'Everyone was chasing me today, and managed to maintain the lead and played really nicely down the stretch and hit a lot of good shots.' Kim had opened with four birdies in seven holes, and when the South Korean added birdies on the 11th and 12th, she shared the lead with Woad. Woad was unflappable, making birdie on the 13th and 14th holes to regain control and dropping only one shot late in her round. She finished with a three-quarter wedge over a winding burn to 2 feet for birdie and a reserved celebration. Her victory is certain to get everyone's attention in women's golf. Woad was the No. 1 amateur in the women's ranking when she won the Women's Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour three weeks ago. Then, she finished one shot out of a playoff in the Evian Championship in France, an LPGA major. That gave her enough points for an LPGA card, so the 21-year-old decided to forgo her final year at Florida State and turn pro. Now she has an LPGA title — the Women's Scottish Open is co-sanctioned with the LET — as she heads south for Royal Porthcawl in Wales for the final major of the year in the Women's British Open. Nelly Korda, who played the opening three rounds with Woad, ran off four straight birdies on the front nine until missing some putts that stalled her momentum. She shot 71 and finished eight shots behind, leaving the American winless this year after a seven-win season in 2024. Julia Lopez Ramirez closed with a 65 and tied for third with Sei Young Kim (73), earning the Spaniard one of three spots available in the Women's British Open next week. The other spots went to Paula Reto of South Africa and Mary Liu of China. Woad first made a name for herself when she won the Augusta National Women's Amateur last year with birdies on three of the last four holes. She said that was more pressure than she felt in her pro debut. 'I think Augusta, that was the biggest tournament I played in at the time and was kind of my big win,' Woad said. 'So definitely felt the pressure of it more there, and I felt like all those experiences helped me with this.' The only difference this week was getting paid for it. Along with winning the Women's Irish Open, Woad tied for 31st in the U.S. Women's Open this year and tied for 10th in the Women's British Open at St. Andrews last summer. She heads to Wales hopeful of keeping the momentum. 'It's been pretty good, yeah. I don't really know how to describe it,' Woad said. 'Just been shooting low scores, which is always nice.' ___

Euro 2025: Spain leads England 1-0 at halftime in the final on Mariona Caldentey's header
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — Spain leads England 1-0 at halftime in the Women's European Championship final on Sunday after scoring a very English-style goal. Mariona Caldentey's header in the 25th minute was fair reward for Spain's precise passing patterns around the tightly packed England penalty area. It was the fourth time in England's six games at this tournament that the defending champion trailed to the first goal before halftime. The English flavor to the opening goal was in a full back's cross from the byline finding the head of an Arsenal player to score as Ona Battle sent an accurate cross from the byline to Caldentey. Caldentey had gone close with a shot just minutes before scoring and tournament top scorer Esther González also had three scoring chances. Still, England had a clear chance to lead in the 19th. Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll saved well from Lauren Hemp's low shot after her own reckless pass in the penalty area gifted the ball to the England winger. There was royalty from both nations in the VIP box watching the game. Prince William, who is the first in line to the British throne, was with his daughter Princess Charlotte. He is president of the English Football Association. __
