Between two different halves at the Hard Rock Arena, Palmeiras and Inter Miami drew 2-2 on Monday night , qualifying both teams for the round of 16 of the Club World Cup . Now, the São Paulo team faces another Brazilian team, Botafogo, in the round of 16, who finished second in their group.
In the first half, while Inter Miami operated at their usual pace, Palmeiras had a poor first half in terms of creation, poor marking and leaving plenty of space open to their rivals at Hard Rock Stadium . It was no surprise that it took just 15 minutes for Verdão's defensive disorganization to allow Inter to counterattack, with Gómez losing the ball to Suárez, and Allende running almost the entire length of the Alviverde field to make it 1-0.
Shortly after, Palmeiras lost Murilo, who was injured, replaced him with Fuchs and tried to react with attempts to attack. They had the best chance in the 31st minute with Facundo Torres, who shot just wide of the post , but the ball went wide. The other chances were hardly dangerous. There was only one minute of added time and so the teams went to the locker room with Inter Miami partially winning by 1-0.
Contrary to the usual stance, but understandable given the scenario of the match, Abel made a change right at half-time: Maurício in place of Veiga. The team, however, continued to leave spaces, allowing counterattacks, and so, in the 19th minute, Luis Suárez advanced with ease against Evangelista and Fuchs in defense to score a great goal and make it 2-0.
There were new changes, with Vitor Roque and Allan coming on, and at 34 minutes, Allan received a pass from Gómez and passed to Paulinho, who had come on shortly before Suárez's goal, to reduce the deficit for Verdão: 2-1. Only then did Palmeiras start to pose more danger, appearing better than Inter Miami. The persistence paid off at 41 minutes, when Paulinho crossed into the area, Falcón cleared it poorly into the middle, and Maurício scored the equalizer: 2-2.
Palmeiras continued to press in the final minutes , but left the field with a draw, enough to qualify as leaders of Group A, advancing to the round of 16 along with Inter Miami.
The standings ended with Palmeiras leading Group A with five points, followed by Inter Miami with the same score. Porto and Al Ahly, in the next round of the table, drew 4-4 in the simultaneous game and each finished with two points. With the classification in first place, Palmeiras will face Botafogo in the round of 16, who advanced in second place in Group B. Inter Miami, in turn, will face Paris Saint-Germain.
In search of reinforcements for the team, the red-black board is closely monitoring the player, a starter for the São Paulo team, but should only act next year.

Flamengo travels this Tuesday (5) to Belo Horizonte, where they will face Atlético-MG in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. With the disadvantage of the 1-0 score suffered at Maracanã, the team led by Filipe Luís will have to seek classification away from home .
While preparing for the decisive match, the club's management remains attentive to the transfer market, especially at the goalkeeper position. According to information published by journalist Venê Casagrande, Gabriel Brazão, currently with Santos, is a name being closely monitored at Ninho do Urubu.
Gabriel Brazão has established himself as a key player for Santos in 2025. With consistent and decisive performances, the goalkeeper has caught the attention not only of Santos fans but also of clubs abroad. Despite international offers, Santos has managed to keep him on the roster.
Internally, Brazão is highly regarded by Flamengo 's leadership. However, a formal approach from the Rio de Janeiro club is only expected to occur next year . The current priority is a strong performance this season, but evaluation of names for 2026 is already underway.
The debate about the need for reinforcement in the red-black goal gained strength after the 1-1 draw with Ceará, last Sunday (3), in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite a promising start, Rossi failed in the move that led to the opponent's equalizing goal , scored by Pedro Raul.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
