📹 Cruzeiro beat Flu to go clear at the top, check out the Brasileirão table | OneFootball

The 14th round of the Brasileirão 2025 was concluded (theoretically) this Thursday (17th), with Cruzeiro's victory by 2-0 over Fluminense at Maracanã.

Grêmio vs. Fortaleza, Atlético-MG vs. Sport, Bahia vs. Internacional, and Juventude vs. Vasco were the matches postponed in the round due to coinciding with the Conmebol Sudamericana round of 16 playoffs.

At Maracanã, the Raposa showed a very consistent defensive system to withstand the tricolor's pressure at the beginning of the game and objectivity to secure the victory still in the first half.

After a corner kick, Fabrício Bruno rose completely unmarked and headed firmly to open the scoring for Cruzeiro.

Five minutes later, in a deadly counterattack, Matheus Pereira received in the area and crossed low for Kaio Jorge to complete and extend the lead.

It was the 12th goal of the center forward of the Minas Gerais team in the Brasileirão, further isolating himself as the top scorer of the championship. Arrascaeta, from Flamengo, is second with nine goals.

Fluminense posed a bit more danger in the final stage, giving some work to goalkeeper Cássio, even hitting the post twice, but the farewell of idol Jhon Arias ended marked by the home defeat.
