Vitor Roque steps up as Palmeiras beat Atlético-MG, Hulk scores a screamer
Best moments coming soon - stay tuned
Before the game started, Richard Ríos went onto the field to bid farewell to the Verdão fans. The Colombian midfielder is transferring to Benfica.
After spending some time on the bench, Ríos returned to the locker room.
When the ball rolled, Palmeiras was better in the game and controlled the actions.
And, after coach Cuca substituted Gabriel Menino - ex-Verdão - and he went straight to the locker room - with 30 minutes of play, Piquerez took a corner kick on the first post, and Lucas Evangelista anticipated the marking to head the ball into Everson's foot and open the scoring for Palmeiras.
However, still in the final stretch of the first half, Hulk took a perfect free kick from the edge of the box and tied the game.
But, after the interval, Vitor Roque - taking 50kg off his back - completed the cross from the left in the area, the ball hit Junior Alonso and died in the back of Galo's goal.
Tigrinho was also decisive in the third goal, when he stole the ball from Rômulo and served Facundo Torres in the area, who rolled it to the middle for Maurício to score the third.
In stoppage time, Hulk scored another goal from a free kick for Galo and set the game on fire.🚦 How it stands
With the victory, breaking a negative sequence of three rounds without wins, Palmeiras reached 26 points and rose to fourth place.
Atlético-MG, which suffered its second consecutive defeat in the championship, remained with 20 points and in ninth place.
Verdão returns to the field next Wednesday (23), when they visit Fluminense, at Maracanã, for the 16th round of the Brasileirão.
Meanwhile, Galo hosts Atlético Bucaramanga, at Arena MRV, on Thursday (24), for the second leg of the Conmebol Sudamericana playoffs.
Atlético-MG's next game will be only next Sunday (27), when they visit Flamengo, at Maracanã, for the 17th round.

🎥 Flamengo edge Atlético in tense clash, go top in Brasileirão
It was a kind of "preview" of what is to come in the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. And Flamengo got the better of Atlético Mineiro this Sunday (27), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão in front of 54,550 attendees. In a tense game, with a controversial move and many cards, the Rubro-Negro won 1 x 0 thanks to Léo Ortiz. And they returned to lead the Brasileirã in the 1st Half The first acute move was in favor of Galo, with Rony almost celebrating. Atlético was successful for much of the initial stage, with individual markings and long balls, managing to contain the Rubro-Negro's momentum. As the minutes passed, Flamengo was gaining more space. The controversy came after a foul by Fausto Vera on Plata. It was a penalty and turned into a foul outside the area, but without a red card. Flamengo went for the pressure before the break - and again complained about Ramon Abatti Abel. Galo, on the other hand, had a great chance on the counter-attack, but Hulk preferred to pass. Fla lethal in the air The "start" of the second half was a truncated game with little inspiration from both sides. Flamengo had more possession and volume. But continued to find difficulty against good marking. Then Luiz Araújo took a "hand" free kick and Léo Ortiz scored his fourth goal in the air this season (30'). The sequence was of unsuccessful attempts from both sides. 📊 Table and schedule 📅 With one less game, Flamengo went to 36 points. Leaving Cruzeiro (34) behind. Atlético - defeated for the third round in a row - remains with 20. It's the 13th with 15 matches played. Both will face each other again on Thursday (31) and once again at Maracanã. It will be the first leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. The return will be the following Wednesday (6) and at Arena MRV. The next commitment of the duo for BR-25 will be on Sunday (3). Rubro-Negro will visit Ceará at Castelão. While CAM will host Red Bull Bragantino. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

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).
