Fla beat São Paulo with ex-player stunner, stay top
As the Brasileirão 2025 resumed, Flamengo defeated São Paulo 2-0 at Maracanã this Saturday (12th), in the 13th round. Overall, the match—which was recently the Copa do Brasil final—was totally dominated by the Rubro-Negro, who kept the Tricolor Paulista pinned in their own half for almost the entire first half. Advertisement However, due to a mix of poor finishing and an inspired night from goalkeeper Rafael, the score remained 0-0 in the first half. Léo Ortiz hit the post, forced Rafael to work hard with a rebound off a corner, and Gonzalo Plata missed a great chance in the box, shooting wide. But the highlight of the first half was Rafael's 'Neuer-like' save on Wesley's impeccable shot. After halftime, the match took on a dramatic tone with the 'hole' left in Ayrton Lucas's leg after a tough challenge with Enzo Díaz from São Paulo. But then, the 'law of the ex' appeared in spectacular fashion. Luiz Araújo, who is 'Made in Cotia,' struck a rare and unstoppable shot to open the scoring for Flamengo. The number 7 is the second Flamengo player with the most goals and assists this year. In 33 matches, Luiz Araújo has scored nine goals and provided six assists. Advertisement In stoppage time, Luiz Araújo shot low, Rafael parried, and Wallace Yan appeared unmarked in the six-yard box to extend the lead and secure the victory. 🚦 What's next With the win, Flamengo reached 27 points and remained alone at the top of the Brasileirão. São Paulo, meanwhile, stayed at 12 points and in 15th place. With one game in hand, as they were in the United States for the Club World Cup during a league round, the Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16th) to visit Santos at Vila Belmiro. The Tricolor from Morumbi, meanwhile, travels to the interior of São Paulo to face RB Bragantino on the same day. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

No excuses: Brazil's best outclass Europe in FIFA Club World Cup 2025
As the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 enters its knockout phase, it's clear who the real disruptors are, Brazil's top clubs. While traditional powerhouses from Europe entered as favorites, the South American contenders have defied expectations and taken the spotlight, combining grit, strategy, and national pride to deliver standout performances. Historic Wins Over European Giants The most talked-about moment of the group stage came when Botafogo stunned Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-0 win at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, a venue that holds deep emotional value for Brazilians, as it hosted their 1994 World Cup triumph. Igor Jesus, who has drawn interest from Premier League side Nottingham Forest, scored the decisive goal. The upset revived memories of past Brazilian triumphs and reignited confidence in the nation's footballing might. Not to be outshone, Flamengo delivered an emphatic 3-1 victory over Chelsea, avenging their 2019 loss to Liverpool in a previous Club World Cup final. The win marked the first time in over two decades that a Brazilian club beat a European opponent by more than one goal in the competition. On-Pitch Results Speak Volumes Brazil's four representatives, Botafogo, Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Fluminense are unbeaten so far. Collectively, they've scored 14 goals and conceded just four. Palmeiras held Porto to a draw, and Fluminense matched Borussia Dortmund in a gritty display, proving that Brazilian teams can go toe-to-toe with Europe's elite. Flamengo's winger Luiz Araújo summed up the sentiment best: 'Football is played on the pitch, 11 against 11. We came prepared, and we believe we can beat anyone.' Rejecting the 'Tired European' Excuse European fatigue has been a talking point, with critics claiming the clubs are not at full strength during the off-season. Brazilian managers aren't buying it. Abel Ferreira of Palmeiras called it 'a lie,' noting that Brazilian clubs often compete in the Mundial after playing 70+ games a year. No. of matches played in the last year Club Matches Played Flamengo 77 Botafogo 73 Fluminense 72 Palmeiras 70 Real Madrid 62 Inter 59 Paris Saint-Germain 58 Chelsea 57 Manchester City 57 Benfica 56 Renato Gaúcho, Fluminense's head coach, echoed the sentiment: 'When European teams win, no one says we're tired. But when we win, excuses pop up. The truth is, we've earned these results.' Brazilian clubs dominating global football isn't new. Throughout the 20th century, teams like Santos, São Paulo, and Flamengo regularly outclassed European giants. Legendary moments such as Pelé's five goals against Benfica in 1962 and São Paulo's triumphs over Barcelona and AC Milan in the 1990s are still etched in football folklore. However, in the 21st century, things shifted. Economic imbalances and the exodus of young talent to Europe weakened the Brazilian league's competitiveness. But in this year's tournament, Brazilian sides are flipping the script. Pride Restored In a tournament once seen as a European playground, Brazil's top clubs have made it clear: financial muscle doesn't guarantee success. Through strong performances, tactical discipline, and passionate football, they've not only advanced, but reminded the world of the enduring strength of Brazilian football.
