Palmeiras gave Internacional no chance and won 4-1 this Saturday (13), in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The big name of the night was striker Vitor Roque , who scored three goals. With the result, the São Paulo team reaches the same 21 games as the leader Flamengo and puts itself in the fight for the top of the table.
From the opening whistle, Abel Ferreira's team exerted intense pressure and opened the scoring after just three minutes. After a corner kick, Felipe Anderson pounced on the loose ball and passed it to Vitor Roque, who finished with precision past goalkeeper Rochet .
The home team's dominance continued intensely. In the 23rd minute, a solo play by Flaco López found the ball in the path of Facundo Torres, who found Vitor Roque again to extend the lead . Five minutes later, in the 28th minute, Lucas Evangelista pounced on a rebound from Felipe Anderson's shot following a short corner kick to score the third goal for the Green and Whites.
Before halftime, in the 42nd minute, Vitor Roque shone once again, completing a pass from Gustavo Gómez and scoring Palmeiras' fourth goal, making it 4-0 in the first half. In the second half, with victory virtually assured, Palmeiras slowed down. Internacional, which had produced little up until then, managed to pull one back in the 26th minute.
With this result, Palmeiras reaches the same 21-game streak as the leader and reinforces its position as the main contender for the title. Vitor Roque's performance boosts the squad's confidence for the rest of the season.

Flamengo faces Bahia this Sunday (5), for the 27th round of the Brasileirão, and one of the major concerns for the duel is the state of the Arena Fonte Nova pitch . The topic has already generated recent debates and was commented on again, now by coach Filipe Luís and midfielder Saúl.
Filipe Luís on the pitch for Bahia vs. Flamengo: "It hurts both teams"
After the draw against Cruzeiro , Filipe Luís emphasized that Flamengo is accustomed to different field conditions and that the team is prepared to overcome this challenge: " We are used to playing on different types of grass, different pitches, and even with different balls . The players are adapted and prepared to face Bahia even with the poor pitch and seek victory," said the coach.
In the last match held at Fonte Nova, between Palmeiras and Bahia, Abel Ferreira complained a lot about the conditions of the field , while Rogério Ceni responded, remembering that the problem also hinders the Bahian team, which values ball possession.
Filipe Luís followed the same line and recognized that the situation could harm both sides: “ I don’t know if there has been any improvement since the last game , but as Rogério himself said, it harms both teams,” concluded the coach.
Like the coach, Saúl also emphasized the importance of adaptation. The Spanish midfielder emphasized that Flamengo is ready to change its style of play if necessary in search of a positive result: "We have to adapt: to the pitch, the weather, and whatever comes our way. If we can't play our style, we'll play differently to win," he declared.
Flamengo and Bahia face each other this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, with broadcast by Premiere (on pay-per-view) . In the first round, at Maracanã, Rubro-Negro won 1-0, with a goal from Arrascaeta.

After a title-winning stint in Flamengo's youth academy , Felipe Teresa is Palmeiras' newest signing . The 19-year-old forward terminated his contract with Flamengo at the end of September and signed a two-year deal with the São Paulo club, which will retain 80% of his economic rights. This brings the youngster to an end after a week and a half without a team.
The decision to release Felipe Teresa came from Flamengo itself, which expressed dissatisfaction with the player's behavior . The club, however, did not elaborate on the reasons and simply expressed gratitude for the time the player wore the Sacred Mantle.
In her farewell, Teresa posted a message of gratitude: "Today I end a cycle at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo , the team of my heart and which will always have a special place in my life . Despite the circumstances, I leave with gratitude for having had the opportunity to wear this shirt so heavy and full of history," she wrote.
A graduate of Ninho do Urubu, Felipe Teresa has amassed significant achievements. In 2024, he starred in scoring the winning goal in the U-20 Club World Cup against Olympiacos (GRE). He also received opportunities in the professional team under Filipe Luís , scoring against Grêmio in Porto Alegre in the Brasileirão that same year.
Without the striker, Flamengo U-20 returns to the field this Saturday (04), at 10 am (Brasília time), against Madureira , for the Carioca Championship of the category. The duel takes place at Conselheiro Galvão Stadium. The Garotos do Ninho are in third place in the table, while Tricolor Suburbano is 10th in the competition.
