📊 Brasileirão table: giants swap places in the Z-4 after Saturday
The weekend is a full round in the Brasileirão and, this Saturday (26), five games opened the #17. Were there many draws? There were, but there was no lack of excitement! For example, in the 1 x 1 between Botafogo and Corinthians, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, the Glorious took the lead, played better, but the Timão pulled a draw with the "contested" Memphis Depay. The point was enough for Corinthians to gain three positions in the table, at least until Sunday's games, which complete the Recife, Sport opened 2 x 0 against Santos, was left with one more player, but ended up taking the draw in 2 x 2 in the final minutes. The Lion of the Island, thus, continues without winning in the Brasileirão, while the Peixe managed to get out of the other draw of the round was the 1 x 1 between Mirassol and Vitória. But don't be fooled by the "modest" score. Both teams missed good at the Arena Castelão, Fortaleza beat RB Bragantino 3 x 1 and ended a streak of six rounds without victories, in a total of 10 games without knowing what the three points were. The result made Laion gain a position in the table, leaving the penultimate position to Juventude, who still plays in the at home, Palmeiras beat Grêmio 1 x 0 and "engaged the third" in the Brasileirão. With the new victory, Verdão stuck to the leader Cruzeiro and vice Flamengo.📆 Schedule of Sunday's games 4pm (Brasília time) - São Paulo x Fluminense 4pm (Brasília time) - Cruzeiro x Ceará 6:30pm (Brasília time) - Internacional x Vasco 6:30pm (Brasília time) - Bahia x Juventude 8:30pm (Brasília time) - Flamengo x Atlético-MG 📊 Check the UPDATED Brasileirão table This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Nenê joins exclusive club as he turns 44, check out all the players over 40
Anderson Luiz de Carvalho, known as Nenê, is turning 44 years old this Saturday (19). With 1,044 matches played in his career, Juventude's number 10 is part of an increasingly short list of active forty-somethings in the world's top leagues. This list is led by Fábio, Fluminense's goalkeeper. It started to include Cristiano Ronaldo this year. And it features ANOTHER Nenê (see details below). Nenê has been with Papo since April 2023. His contract runs until the end of this season and includes productivity triggers and goals to be achieved. The video confirming his stay at the club from Serra Gaúcha for 2025 "rode the wave" of longevity in football. Watch it again below: Discovered by Paulista, Nenê is now at the 15th club of his career. Which is likely to be his last. He holds, for example, the distinction of being the last Brazilian to be the top scorer in Ligue 1. He was playing successfully for PSG when he achieved this feat alongside Giroud, then a Montpellier player. Both scored 21 goals in the 2011/2012 season. He was also celebrated by another former club, Monaco.

In other words: he will likely play until he's 46 years old. Fábio took for himself the record for most clean sheets as a goalkeeper against Inter Milan: 507. And he's still chasing an even more significant one: the player with the most appearances in football history. He currently has 1,381. The record holder is former English goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who played 1,387. Now 76 years old, he began his career in 1966 at Leicester and ended it in 1997 playing for Leyton Orient. Roque Santa Cruz - 43 years old - (8/16/1981) 📸 NELSON ALMEIDA - AFP or licensors The Paraguayan striker for Libertad is "only" the last player still active who played in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. There were eight in 2022, at the time of the Qatar World Cup. A product of Olimpia, he was already playing professionally in 1997 – just like Fábio.

📋 Atlético set to defend Brazil's honour in Sula playoffs
The round of 16 playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana did not start well for the Brazilian clubs. After Vasco and Grêmio suffered defeats away from home and Bahia drew in Salvador, it's now Atlético's turn to take the field. Later today, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Galo will face their 'namesake' Bucaramanga at the Américo Montanini Stadium on Colombian soil. The return leg will be next Thursday (24th), at Arena MRV, and whoever advances will face Argentina's Godoy Bucaramanga 🇨🇴 The Colombian team secured their spot in the playoffs by finishing third in Group E of the Libertadores—behind Racing and Fortaleza. This is their debut in South American tournaments. They finished only ninth in the local Apertura, but advanced as the leader of their group in the Copa de Colombia—they will face América de Cali or Tigres FC in the round of 16. Their Clausura debut was last week, with a 1-1 draw against Boyacá Chicó. Defender Aldair Gutiérrez is out after being sent off in the last round of the Libertadores. Former Galo player Cárdenas has left the club. The lineup has not yet been announced. Atlético 🐓 Galo was on a good run until their defeat to Bahia in the last round of the Brasileirão. Cuca will be without Rubens, who was left out of the squad as he negotiates a transfer to Russian football. Dudu will play in midfield, which ensures Rony will join Hulk up front. This sector lost Cuello—due to a left thigh injury—and Júnior Santos because of the flu. Photo: Mateus Lotif/FEC This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

📹 Vasco thrashed by Del Valle, in trouble in Copa Sudamericana
At high altitude in Quito, Ecuador, Vasco was thrashed by Independiente del Valle 4-0 on Tuesday (15), in the first leg of the Conmebol South American playoffs 2025. Best moments below The ugly defeat inevitably passes through Lucas Piton's expulsion before the 15th minute of the first half. With one less, Léo Jardim worked miracles to save Vasco, who suffered 19 finishes in the first half - the highest number of a Brazilian, in international competitions, since 2017. Despite all the effort, Jardim could not prevent Carabajal from "opening the gate", in the additions, completing the rebound of the Vasco goalkeeper with a header. Advertisement On the return of the interval, there was no way. Independiente del Valle arrived with everything and expanded with Patrik Mercado, in a finish that Léo Jardim even touched the ball, which kissed the post and died in the back of the goal. Completely lost on the field, Vasco suffered the third goal in a flash. After a closed cross from the left, Spinelli appeared in the area behind the defender to deflect and overcome Léo Jardim. Without even being able to finish at the Ecuadorian goal, Vasco entered mode to avoid elimination in the first leg. But in the final minutes, Patrik Mercado turned the victory into a rout. Advertisement Spinelli even made what would be the fifth Ecuadorian goal, but the play was annulled by offside, after VAR review. However, Mauricio Lemos fouled Patrik Mercado in the area in the last minute of regular time. Léo Jardim, however, managed to defend the penalty taken by Cazares. 📉 The chaos in numbers 🚦 How it stays With the defeat, Vasco needs to win by five goals, in São Januário, next Tuesday (22), to advance to the quarterfinals of the Conmebol South American. In case of victory by four goals, the spot will be decided on penalties. The Ecuadorians can lose up to three goals and still qualify. Before, the Cruz-Maltino returns to the field next Saturday (19), when they host Grêmio, in São Januário, for the 15th round of the Brasileirão.
