Flamengo Dominates with Big Win and Capitalizes on Palmeiras Draw to Extend Lead in Brasileirão
Flamengo achieved a significant 3-0 victory over Bragantino, strengthening its lead in the Brasileirão. As of November 23, 2025, they now sit four points ahead of Palmeiras, after Palmeiras settled for a goalless draw against Fluminense at home. This match is particularly crucial as Flamengo prepares for the Copa Libertadores final next week.
Match Highlights
Flamengo’s triumph at the Maracanã Stadium was characterized by a strong second-half performance, where all three goals were scored within a span of just 22 minutes. The scorers included:
- Giorgian de Arrascaeta
- Jorginho (penalty)
- Bruno Henrique
This victory followed a prior disappointing loss against Fluminense, making this win a highly anticipated turnaround.
Palmeiras Struggles Against Fluminense
Despite playing at home, Palmeiras could not find the back of the net against a disciplined Fluminense team. Although they had opportunities, including a powerful shot from Agustín Canobbio that struck the crossbar, they often struggled with precision and creativity in their attack.
Upcoming Matches
As both teams gear up for their next matches, Flamengo will face Atlético Mineiro, while Palmeiras will travel to Porto Alegre to confront Grêmio. The importance of these matches cannot be overstated:
- Flamengo: Currently has 74 points from 35 matches.
- Palmeiras: Must improve performance to keep title hopes alive.
If Flamengo secures victory over Atlético Mineiro and Palmeiras falters, they could clinch the Brasileirão title as early as Tuesday.
