John Textor, majority partner of SAF do Botafogo, once again accused Palmeiras of having benefited from arbitration in recent years. Without presenting evidence, the North American claimed to have "heavy evidence, 100% confirmed" about the case.

According to the businessman, the São Paulo club that was champion of the Brasileirão last season, has been " helped" for at least two seasons.


- Last year was turbulent. I'm not going to let what happened last year go unchecked. We are in a new season to come. We have heavy evidence, 100% confirmed, that Palmeiras has been benefiting from result manipulation for at least two seasons. Sorry if this is going to create noise, but I have proof, I'll send it to the prosecutors. I'm here to defend the honor of my club. The players have to play, the fans have to cheer. But this is a fight, and we are together. You can be sure that no one will touch our matches this year. I promise you - he said, in an interview with "Canal do Medeiros".


In 2023, Alviverde was Brazilian champion and surpassed Flamengo's rival in the table, which had a 14 point advantage over the São Paulo team . Previously, in 2022, Verdão also won the tournament.

Textor began his "battle" against Palmeiras when Botafogo was defeated 4-3, in an upset, in the last edition of the Brasileirão. He defined the match as "robbery", accused him of corruption and asked for the resignation of the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Ednaldo Rodrigues. The statements culminated in his suspension for 30 days.

The Brazilian women's football team debuted with victory at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This Thursday, Brazil beat Nigeria 1-0, in Bordeaux, with a goal from Gabi Nunes, completing a good pass by Marta.

The goal scored by Gabi Nunes was the attacker's fifth for the Brazilian team. Shortly before the score was opened, Rainha Marta found the net, but the goal was canceled by the referee due to an offside. Overall, Arthur Elias' Brazil maintained an offensive posture and control of the game after taking the lead. Nigeria offered little danger to the goal defended by Lorena.

Summary

When the ball rolled, nervousness was the team's main factor in the first minutes. Using missed passes and intercepted direct calls, Brazil was initially unable to trouble the Nigerian team. Without control of the match, the Canarian team suffered from quick departures from their opponents. So, in the 15th minute, goalkeeper Lorena saved the team by defending a one-on-one shot with Chinwendu Ihezuo.

After the initial tension, it was Brazil's turn to take control of the game. At 35 minutes, Antonia found Marta, who converted, but saw her goal disallowed due to the assistant's offside. But soon after, it was the Queen's turn to find a perfect pass for Gabi Nunes, who finished strongly and filled the net to put the Brazilian team ahead.

What now?

In the second stage, the team led by Arthur Elias kept the situation under control. Counting on Lorena's safe defenses, the team that won the silver medal in 2004 and 2008 confirmed its success.


With the triumph, Brazil takes second place in Group C, tied on points with Spain. In the next round, the team will face Japan, while Nigeria will face Spain.
