World football has a new record holder for consecutive victories. This Tuesday, Al-Hilal beat Al-Ittihad 2-0, reaching the impressive mark of 28 consecutive victories in official matches. This number surpasses the previous mark by one, which since 2016 belonged to The New Saints, from Wales.

The goals of the match, held in Jeddah, were scored by Al-Shahrani and the Brazilian Malcom. In addition to breaking the record, the team led by Jorge Jesus also secured their place in the semi-finals of the Asian Champions League, where they will face Al-Ain.


Al-Hilal's winning streak began at the end of September. Among the highlights are the 3-0 victory over Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's team, at home, in early December, and the recent triumphs over Al-Ittihad, Benzema's team: a 3-1 in the Saudi Championship and a 2-0 in the first match of the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League, both also at home.


Interestingly, now the roles are reversed: it is The New Saints who are in search of the record of Al-Hilal. The Welsh team was champion of the national league in advance in the 2023/24 season and has won the last 25 official games it has played, since September last year. On social media, the Welsh team congratulated Al-Hilal on the milestone they achieved.

Al-Hilal's historic run is also reflected in the Saudi Championship. With 11 rounds to go, the team leads with 65 points, 12 ahead of Al-Nassr.

Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.

Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.


In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.

Léo Duarte and Kauã Santos' moment in Europe

Léo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.
