In a standalone match this Monday (29th), São Paulo and Ceará faced each other at Morumbi, wrapping up the 25th round of the Brasileirão. The home team ‘extended’ their crisis by losing 1-0, with a beautiful goal from Pedro Henrique, 10 minutes into the second half.

As a result, São Paulo remains in seventh place, with 35 points. On the other hand, Ceará jumps to the Copa Sudamericana qualification zone, in 11th place, with 31. During the match, the home team came closer to opening the score, even hitting the post with shots from Rodriguinho and Ferreirinha.
However, it was Ceará who found the net. Ten minutes into the second half, Pedro Henrique received the ball on the left side, entered the box, dribbled past goalkeeper Rafael, and sent it into the back of the net. The play only increased the frustration of the fans present at Morumbi, who are still suffering from the elimination in the Libertadores against LDU (EQU).
While São Paulo is in crisis, Flamengo is ‘all smiles’ this round. After all, Filipe Luís’s team was the only one in the G-4 to win. On Sunday (28th), Mengão beat Corinthians 2-1. On the same day, Palmeiras lost to Bahia. The day before, Cruzeiro and Mirassol fell to Vasco and Atlético-MG, respectively.
With the goal of extending their lead in the Brasileirão, Flamengo faces second-place Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at Maracanã, starting at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time). If Mengão is on the field, there will be full coverage from Coluna do Fla, on the website, social media, and YouTube.
