The Brasileirão weekend served viral moments, from Flamengo’s slick team goal to Neymar’s response and shirt row, plus goalkeeping heroics, howlers and even a pipe uncovered on the pitch.
According to Globo.com, Flamengo sealed a 3-0 win over Botafogo with a sweeping move begun and finished by Carrascal after Cebolinha’s back-heel, a standout in the Maracanã clássico.
Injured Yuri Alberto arrived in a bold outfit at Neo Química Arena. Neymar was abused in the warm-up, then his free-kick hit a post for Christian Oliva to clinch Santos’ 1-0 win at Corinthians.
Afterwards, Neymar gifted his shirt to a young Corinthians fan. The family were then harassed by home fans and left under police escort.
Erick Pulga volleyed Bahia level before a comeback against Internacional. At the Arena do Grêmio, players found a pipe before kick-off, and Weverton’s saves helped beat Chapecoense 3-1.
For Fluminense against Athletico-PR, Hulk buried a free-kick past Santos. Canobbio later equalised after a goalkeeping error, then Kevin Viveros won and converted a late penalty after Fábio’s foul to seal 3-3 and reach 17 goals amid protests.
Vitória right-back Brítez’s air-shot let Thiago Borbas open the scoring in Atlético-MG’s 2-1 win at Arena MRV.
São Paulo beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 at Morumbis, with Luciano and Gustavo Santana scoring before Fernando replied. A 10-minute VAR-checked penalty angered Vagner Mancini, who also changed shirts on the bench due to a colour clash.
