São Paulo defeat seals G7, Fluminense and Bahia clinch Libertadores spots | OneFootball

This Thursday, with the 6-0 defeat of São Paulo, Fluminense and Bahia secured qualification for the 2026 Copa Libertadores and the G7 of the Brazilian Championship was defined.

With tonight’s result, São Paulo remained at 48 points, in eighth place. Therefore, with two rounds to go, the team can no longer reach Fluminense (58) and Bahia (56), who are in fifth and seventh place, respectively.

Now, Mirassol, Fluminense, Botafogo, and Bahia, already guaranteed at least a spot in the Libertadores preliminary stage, are fighting for a direct spot in the group stage of the continental tournament, which already includes Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Cruzeiro.

The Brasileirão G7 could still become G8, guaranteeing one more club in the Libertadores. For that to happen, one of the teams in the G7 needs to win the Copa do Brasil.

Only Cruzeiro and Fluminense can secure this change. The team from Minas Gerais is in third place, with 68 points, while the Tricolor from Rio is in fifth, with 58.
