Matchday 21 of the Brasileirão 2023 was marked by the victory of most of the teams that are candidates for the highest positions in the table, as was the case of Botafogo, which remains firmly in the first place.
The same can be said of Palmeiras, which is living happy hours in the Copa Libertadores and for now seems to be the team that can try to overshadow the ‘Fogao’ in the fight for the Brazilian reign.
Flamengo slipped up and drew at the Maracanã stadium with Internacional de Porto Alegre, which was taken advantage of by Grêmio, who beat Cruzeiro, to move up in the standings.
At the bottom of the table, it is worth highlighting the performance of last-placed América Mineiro, who surprisingly beat São Paulo, who are experiencing a moment to forget in the local league.

Flamengo started the weekend in third place and ended it in fourth, after a 0-0 draw at home with Internacional de Porto Alegre, a team that has been marked by mediocrity.
Jorge Sampaoli’s side showed once again that they are an inconsistent local, winning five games, drawing four, and losing once. They have three games in a row without a win at the Maracanã.
Colorado scored an important point due to the quality of the opponent but showed once again that their mind is on the Copa Libertadores, a tournament in which they are in the quarterfinal stage. The team from Porto Alegre is 14th with 25 points.

No team in Brazil has even taken a point from Botafogo at the Nilton Santos stadium. The latest victim was Bahia, who lost 3-0 with a brace from Diego Costa and a goal from Luis Henrique.
The score opened quickly, after 3 minutes, when Victor Sa set up the ‘Lagarto’ Costa for a cross-shot that made the rival goalkeeper’s reaction unusable. In the 51st minute, the attacker headed home a precise cross from Gabriel Pires. These were Diego Costa’s first goals on his return to Brazil and he is doing so at a great time, as he is replacing injured Brasileirão top scorer Tiquinho Soares.
O último aconteceu aos 77 minutos, num passe longo de Hugo para Luis Henrique, que bateu o guarda-redes e marcou com a baliza à disposição.
O 'Fogão' alcançou 51 pontos e venceu todos os 11 jogos em casa. É o líder com 11 pontos de diferença para o Palmeiras, enquanto o Bahia está na 16ª posição com 21 pontos, muito próximo da zona de rebaixamento.

O Grêmio se recuperou da derrota surpresa para o Santos na semana passada e destruiu o Cruzeiro por 3 a 0, tendo Luis Suárez como estrela.
The Uruguayan opened the account in the 29th minute after the Minas Gerais team’s defense lost the ball and he was left with enough space in the area to score with a first-time shot to the left post.
Then, at 54′, he assisted with a back-heel to Felipe Caraballo, who scored with a shot from the midfield.
The score was closed by Pepe at 78′ and the Porto Alegre team reached 36 points, completing three home matches with only victories, and reaching third place, meanwhile Cruzeiro is 12°.

Após a grande vitória por 4 a 0 sobre o Deportivo Pereira, na Colômbia, pelo jogo de ida das quartas de final da Copa Libertadores, o Palmerias voltou ao campeonato local e venceu o Vasco por 1 a 0, com gol do meia Raphael Veiga.
Abel Ferreira não defendeu os seus titulares e marcou o golo da vitória aos 65’, num excelente livre cobrado por Veiga que acertou no poste esquerdo do guarda-redes.
O 'Verdão' já soma três vitórias consecutivas e chega aos 40 pontos, 11 atrás do Botafogo, enquanto isso, o Vasco segue na zona de rebaixamento com 16 pontos. Dimitri Payet ainda não estreou.
Além disso, recentemente o time da Arábia Saudita, Al-Ittihad, ofereceu 30 milhões de dólares pelo zagueiro e capitão do Palmeiras, Gustavo Gómez, mas o presidente do clube brasileiro disse que não pretendem vendê-lo porque pensam em vencer o Brasileirão e Copa Libertadores, embora o paraguaio queira ir.
