Six matches continued the 18th round of the 2025 Brasileirão this Sunday (3).
Only Santos vs. Juventude remains, this Monday (4), at 8:00 PM (Brasília time), to officially close the penultimate round of the first half.
With some teams splitting their focus with the Copa do Brasil, some coaches chose to use reserve squads.
Corinthians, for example, was one of them. Fortaleza, therefore, came very close to victory, but ended up conceding a goal at the "last minute," and the final score was 1-1.
Palmeiras adopted the same strategy as its archrival and midweek opponent in the second leg of the round of 16.
Thus, Vitória managed to take a 2-0 lead, but Verdão fought back to draw 2-2 in the final minutes.
Flamengo did not rest its squad, but also ended up drawing 1-1 with Ceará, after taking the lead at Arena Castelão.
Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG also have Copa do Brasil commitments in midweek, but managed important victories over Botafogo (2-0) and RB Bragantino (2-1), respectively.
Finally, at Beira-Rio, São Paulo – even with a mixed squad – defeated Internacional 2-1 and secured their fourth straight win in the Brasileirão.
