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).
