Brasileirão Matchday 30 Games

Resumen de la jornada 30 del Brasileirão: Fluminense vs.Internacional

Fluminense showed their strength at home with a 1-0 win over Internacional, moving closer to the spots for next season’s Copa Libertadores.

The only goal of the match was scored by right-back Samuel Xavier in the 61st minute, after cutting into the box and finishing with his left foot to the far post.

Flu, who have earned 31 of their 44 points at home, sit in seventh place—three points behind Botafogo, who currently hold a Copa Libertadores qualifying spot, and with one game in hand.

Meanwhile, the Porto Alegre side is in crisis, having earned just one of their last 18 possible points as visitors. They now sit 15th with 35 points, only four ahead of 17th-placed Vitória, who are in the relegation zone.

Result: Fluminense 1-0 Internacional

Resumen de la jornada 30 del Brasileirão: Fortaleza vs Flamengo

Fortaleza struck a major blow both in their fight against relegation and in the title race by defeating Flamengo 1-0.

The hero of the day was Breno Lopes, who scored the only goal in the 12th minute with a low, cross-shot from mid-range.

The ‘Tricolor’ have earned 12 of their 24 points since Martín Palermo took over and now sit at 27 total, placing them 18th, five points away from safety.

Meanwhile, the ‘Mengão’, who were missing several players due to suspensions and injuries and are preparing for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal, sit second with 61 points, one behind Palmeiras.

Result: Fortaleza 1-0 Flamengo

Resumen de la jornada 30 del Brasileirão: Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro

In an exciting match, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro couldn’t break the deadlock and finished with a goalless draw, keeping the title race unchanged at the top.

It was one of the most anticipated clashes of the round, as the league leaders faced the third-place team, separated by just five points. A win for the visitors could have tightened the three-way title race, while a loss would have allowed the hosts to pull away.

That didn’t happen, and while there were no goals, there were plenty of chances, with both goalkeepers standing out as key figures.

It wasn’t a good week for the ‘Verdão’, who had previously lost 3-0 to LDU Quito in the Copa Libertadores semifinals.

Result: Palmeiras 0-0 Cruzeiro

Resumen de la jornada 30 del Brasileirão: Botafogo vs Santos

Botafogo failed to take advantage of their home field and Santos’ poor form, ending in a 2-2 draw that puts their Copa Libertadores spot in jeopardy.

Before the first minute of play, the ‘Fogão’ took the lead with a goal from Joaquín Correa, who scored his first since joining the club in early August—a disappointing stat for a striker who arrived as a major signing.

It came from a great through ball from Jeffinho. The Argentine made the run and crossed the ball from a tight angle, confusing the goalkeeper to make it 1-0.

The equalizer came in the 26th minute when a cross from the right was slightly deflected by a defender, throwing off the home defense, who tried to clear it but accidentally hit Souza, and the ball went into their own net.

The Correa-Jeffinho duo linked up again, this time with a one-two that allowed the forward to position himself inside the box and finish beautifully to the far post.

In the second half, a foul inside the box led to a penalty for the ‘Peixe’, who leveled the score through Álvaro Barreal’s strike.

Botafogo now sit sixth with 47 points, just three ahead of Fluminense, who have a game in hand. Meanwhile, Santos are 16th with 32 points, one above Vitória, who are in the relegation zone.

Result: Botafogo 2-2 Santos
