📹 Again? Abel kicks broadcaster's microphone as Palmeiras win, watch here
This Saturday (26), even with a 1 x 0 victory over Grêmio, for the 17th round of the Brasileirão, the Portuguese coach got irritated with the refereeing...
(...) and, even with the confirmation of the victory, he left the Allianz Parque field kicking the microphone placed on the edge of the field by the broadcaster that holds the rights to broadcast the match.
In the best "straightforward" mode, the Portuguese coach made it clear his dissatisfaction with the Allianz Parque pitch.
In the "field and ball", Abel Ferreira continues to show competence at Palmeiras, which achieved its third consecutive victory and is now close to the leader Cruzeiro and the runner-up Flamengo.

And, with Abel Ferreira at its helm, Verdão continues to establish itself as a "bogeyman" in Brazilian football.
At least, when it comes to direct confrontations against the "G-12" of national football.
Palmeiras has more victories than defeats against 11 of the 12 biggest clubs in Brazil.

Acura Can Catch Porsche in IMSA WeatherTech Manufacturer's Chase
Now that the others have won, look for a return to a less draconian BoP for the Ferrari 499P in the WEC and Porsche in IMSA. It remains to be seen if IMSA officials have in fact balanced the performance. Hopefully, there will be a straight fight for the manufacturer title between Porsche and Acura, which trails by 90 points. After two straight victories by the Acura MSR team in the WeatherTech Championship, the interregnum is over for the Porsche Penske Motorsport team. Having been hobbled by the Balance of Performance (BoP), the Porsche team will have a chance to stand atop the podium again on Sunday after the sprint race at Road America. Urs Keratle, the director for Porsche's 963 program, said that simulations have shown the team will 'be able to compete with the others. The reality we will see in qualifying and the race.' The subtraction of weight (nine kilograms) and a 5.2% increase in Stage 2 power for the Porsches in the BoP prior to Road America reflects the current sports car racing season's pattern in both the World Endurance Championship and IMSA. The best performing cars and their teams have been heavily penalized midway in the season by BoP to open the door to other manufacturers. Now that the others have won, look for a return to a less draconian BoP for the Ferrari 499P in the WEC and Porsche in IMSA. Cadillac and its Jota team won its first WEC race in Round 5 in Brazil, where officials made it very unlikely for the Ferraris, winners of four straight races, to compete for victory. IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Porsche 2,182 Acura 2,092 Cadillac 1,974 BMW 1,962 Aston Martin 1,439 In IMSA, each of the two Acuras entered by Jim Meyers and Michael Shank won in Detroit and Watkins Glen in part because of the BoP hampering the Porsches. Cadillac scored three podiums in those two events. Keratle suggested Porsche Penske was unable to control its own destiny. 'We are prepared to be competitive in the races if it's very well in our hands,' he said. Who stands atop the podium at Wisconsin's picturesque Elkhart Lake circuit and then celebrates at the Siebkens resort will have a significant impact on the driver and manufacturer championships for the IMSA GTP season, which has two endurance races remaining after the Motul SportsCar Grand Prix. It remains to be seen if IMSA officials have in fact balanced the performance and a straight fight for the manufacturer title will evolve between Porsche and Acura, which trails by 90 points. On the driver side, the four straight victories by Porsche Penske to open the season put its drivers in an almost unassailable position. Matt Campbell and Mathieu Jaminet, drivers of the No. 6 Porsche 963, lead teammates Nick Tandy and Felipe Nasr by 12 points after the latter two's poor result at the Glen. Acura MSR drivers Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly, winners in Detroit, trail the Porsche drivers by 262 points in third place. There's more to come in the manufacturers' contest after the Glen victory, said David Salters, president of Honda Racing Corporation USA. The combination of the Meyers-Shank team and engineers from the HRC factory is beginning to pay dividends. Along with driver Tom Blomqvist, they successfully executed a challenging fuel strategy to grab the victory at the Glen from the Cadillac of Action Express Racing before celebrating at the Seneca Lodge. 'We are six races into the season and we're starting to show what we're made of,' said Salters. 'It was a great weekend, but we must keep pushing.' The Acura MSR squad gained 112 points in the factory title chase with its victories. The team likely needs to win at least two of the three remaining races to overcome the 90-point gap to Porsche Penske. Where Porsche Penske has no team orders, Acura MSR can employ split strategies and concentrate on just getting one car into Victory Lane. Blomqvist, who co-drove with Colin Braun on board the No. 60 ARX-06 at the Glen, is reconciled to his team now concentrating on the manufacturers title. 'We still stand a chance in the manufacturers, which is definitely a big goal of Acura's,' said Blomqvist. 'So, we haven't given up there, having won the last two events. Obviously, only one of the team's cars gets points for that. I think ultimately that's probably what we're going to focus on more than the drivers' title. Let's see.'

A head-butt, penalty kick and Marta magic: How Brazil topped Colombia for 9th Copa América title
Brazil's ninth Copa América Femenina title couldn't possibly have been scripted better. Even if the 2025 championship faceoff with Colombia, which ended 4-4 in regulation and 5-4 in penalties, had been dreamed up in a writers' room, the draft would have been sent back to the drawing board for its indulgent lack of believability. It was, by significant distance, the most thrilling of the three continental tournament finals that took place in the last two months: eight total goals, which included a headbutt and subsequent penalty kick, an own goal and a last-gasp Marta banger sent the game into extra time. The 39-year-old legend scored a second goal in the first of the two 15-minute periods to bring Brazil closer to victory at 4-3, but that, too, was answered with a sublime free kick by Colombian midfielder Leicy Santos to level it again. The penalties offered an entirely new framework for drama as each side's keeper saved the spot kicks of two of the goal scorers during the match, Santos and Marta. It took seven rounds of penalties to decide Brazil's fate, with goalkeeper Lorena's save closing the curtain on the most thrilling match in the tournament's history. After a campaign that saw scant crowds in the stands across Ecuador, the cinematic final drew the biggest attendance of the tournament by far with 23,798 tickets sold, though a tournament spokesperson added the total attendance was likely closer to 24,000 with the distribution of complimentary tickets. Spectators leaned heavily in favor of Colombia, and their heartbreak, it must be said, was earned: Colombia led on three separate occasions throughout the crunching matchup, with stunning goals by star strikers Linda Caicedo and Mayra Ramírez, who put on two of the strongest performances of the game. Their efforts sandwiched a perplexing own goal by Brazilian defender Tarciane, setting the stage for Marta's thrilling equalizer in the last second of stoppage time. Caicedo and Ramirez's brilliance Colombia's relentless pressure in their attacking third paid off when 20-year-old Linda Caicedo opened the scoring in the 25th minute, setting the chaotic tone. Up until this moment, Brazil had managed to contain Caicedo and 26-year-old Mayra Ramirez, consistently beating them to the ball and keeping them from making any meaningful connections. The lethal pair managed to break through twice when Colombia needed it most. Caicedo, a dangerous threat due to her tactical prowess and critical awareness on the pitch, is capable of dribbling through a sea of defenders, but, for Colombia's first goal, all she needed was patience and some Ramirez magic. Ramirez managed to find the loose ball in a crowded box, pulling Brazil's defenders towards her. Her strength was on full display. Now dangerously alone, Caicedo waited. All Ramirez needed to do was tap the ball to Caicedo, who calmly placed the ball in Brazil's net. The pair connected again in the 88th minute; this time, it was Ramirez who was alone in front of the goal. A backheel from Ramirez to Caicedo ignited the play, with Caicedo then carrying the ball confidently back towards Brazil's defensive end once again. Caicedo only needed a quick tap to Ramirez, who shot the ball across the net and past Lorena, Brazil's goalkeeper. Chaos erupted as Colombia went up 3-2. The Chelsea forward in this moment only looked for Caicedo, who she quickly embraced. This deadly pairing carried Colombia through this historic match and will carry this national team through its inevitable bright future. Though Colombia did not win the Copa América title it so bravely fought for, Las Cafeteras gave Brazil, long considered the best team in South American women's football, a challenge that no one on the continent will soon forget. Physicality rankled the flow of the game Even in the friendliest of circumstances, a meeting between Brazil and Colombia is guaranteed to be gritty and personal. As proud South American teams, each is known to bear their fangs when provoked, but against each other, those fangs were part of their starting XIs. In this way, the opening minutes of the first half were standard procedure, full of hefty shoulder-to-shoulder 'greetings' and sneaky moments of psychological warfare outside the center official Dione Rissios' watch. But when Colombia assumed the front foot early on and scored in the 25th minute, Brazil found themselves in a deeply unfamiliar position: trailing for the first time not only in their 2025 Copa América Femenina campaign, but since 2014 in this tournament. From that moment, the mutual physicality in the game curdled into something more pointed with animosity. Between the 32nd and 40th minutes, two Colombian players (Lorena Bedoya Durango and Carolina Arias) and one Brazilian (Tarciane) earned yellow cards, prompting Brazilian manager Artur Elias to institute a rare, three-way, first-half substitution, ostensibly to calm the game down. During the third minute of first-half stoppage time, Colombian goalkeeper Tapia was also shown a yellow, all of which felt like foreshadowing for defender Jorelyn Carabalí, who headbutted Brazilian forward Gio Garbelini inside the penalty box. After a lengthy VAR check, Carabalí was shown a merciful and surprising yellow, and Brazil earned a penalty kick. Angelina went top bins with confident ease to draw the eight-time Copa champions level just before halftime. Marta magic It did not matter that Marta entered this championship game in the 82nd minute. The 39-year-old striker was the ammo that Brazil kept in its back pocket, knowing she'd deliver when the team needed her the most — and that's exactly what she did. The tournament appeared to be over, with Colombia on its way to winning its first Copa América. Then Marta, somehow, in the 96th minute, in the final possible second of stoppage time, scored what will go down as one of the most iconic goals of her storied career. She found a loose ball outside the goalie's box and drilled it past Colombia's goalkeeper in a stunning display of Marta magic. The forward was quickly dogpiled on by her teammates, as the stadium erupted. She later scored again in the 105th minute, somehow finding a touch on the ball after it missed her head. This gave Brazil its first lead of the game. It did not matter that Marta would go on to miss a penalty. She came back from retirement to be on this stage because she knows she still has so much left to give Brazil and the beautiful game. There's no denying how much this still means for Marta, who was in tears after the final whistle. Brazil just won its ninth Copa América title, and one of the first things she did was console Colombian players on this pitch. A moment of pure class by one of the greatest players of all time, and a moment no one on this pitch will likely forget. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.
