After drawing 0-0 with Ecuador in their Conmebol U-15 Evolution League opener, the Women's National Team looked for a faster game and sharper passing, ending their second match of the continental tournament with a 4-2 win over Colombia. With the result, the Canarinho remains in contention for first place in the group and the ****** le.
Colombia's first shot on goal came after 25 seconds, but Brazil, focused on regaining possession and controlling the ball, surged down the right through Nicoly, who crossed for Marcela Bontorim to head home and score the Canarinho's first goal in less than two minutes.
Brazil's number 13 found the net again in the 33rd minute after taking advantage of a lapse in the Colombian marking and receiving a pass alone inside the box on the left, from a free kick taken from midfield.
The opponents cut the deficit two minutes later with an individual play by Lelys Victoria, who got past three Brazilian defenders and shot into the goalkeeper's right corner. Before the end of the first half, Brazil put together a quick one-two and attacked through midfielder Melissa, who took a shot, the goalkeeper parried it, and the rebound fell to Nina de Deus, who made sure to score her goal — the Canarinho's third of the match.
In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Colombia won a penalty, taken by forward Alejandra Díaz, who struck it into Nathy's right corner, giving the Brazilian goalkeeper no time to reach the ball. The Canarinho did not let up and, in the 35th minute, scored their fourth goal. Once again, after a loose ball from a set piece and a mistake by the Colombian goalkeeper, Mavi, wearing number 9, made no mistake and scored hers.

The decisive stage of the 2026 CONMEBOL Sudamericana quarterfinals is about to begin! This Tuesday (8), at 9:30 p.m., in Buenos Aires, Tricolor will face Boca Juniors (ARG) in the first leg.
São Paulo heads into the clash at La Bombonera on the back of two straight wins: they beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 and Atlético-MG 2-0, both at MorumBIS, in the Brazilian Championship.
Tonight's match will mark the reunion between the Brazilians and Argentines after nearly 19 years: the last game took place on September 26, 2007, and ended in a 1-0 win for São Paulo at MorumBIS in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. With the goal scored by Aloísio at home, Tricolor knocked out Boca Juniors and secured a place in the quarterfinals of the competition. In the first leg, at La Bombonera, the opposition had won 2-1 — at that time, away goals were a tiebreaker.
There have been 20 matches between the two clubs in history, with seven wins for Tricolor, five draws, and eight victories for the Argentines. Each team has scored 29 goals in these meetings.
The teams have already faced each other seven times at La Bombonera, with two wins for São Paulo, one draw, and four wins for the home side. Tricolor won on October 10, 1995, by 3-2, in the Supercopa, and on January 25, 1961, by 5-1, in the South American Octagonal.

After a 1-1 draw with Coritiba this Saturday (15) at MorumBIS, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, defensive midfielder Pablo Maia spoke in the mixed zone.
"It's hard to talk. I think we have to be more focused throughout the whole game, not just for part of it. I think we have to stay alert, stay focused, and give our best every single minute.

"Starting tomorrow, we have to switch gears because we have a very important game on Tuesday, here at MorumBIS, with the support of our fans. Today they supported us, and I hope they support us again on Tuesday so that we can give our best together with them," he concluded.

We had a first half in which we managed to impose what the coach told us to do. So I think we have to work on this point of concentration from the beginning to the end of the game," he said.
The player also praised the fans' support and asked them to show up for the match against Bolívar-BOL next Tuesday (18) in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.
"Starting tomorrow, we have to switch gears because we have a very important game on Tuesday, here at MorumBIS, with the support of our fans. Today they supported us, and I hope they support us again on Tuesday so that we can give our best together with them," he concluded.
Tricolor's next challenge will be against Bolívar-BOL on Tuesday (18) at 9:30 p.m., once again at MorumBIS, in the second leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round of 16. In the Brasileirão, São Paulo return to the field against Chapecoense on Sunday (23) at 6:30 p.m. at Arena Condá, in Chapecó (SC).

Corinthians are taking a break from the CONMEBOL Libertadores to turn their attention back to the Brazilian Championship. At 7:30 p.m. this Sunday (16), at Neo Química Arena, Timão will face Cruzeiro in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast on Amazon Prime.
The Corinthians squad had only one day to prepare for the round. After drawing away to Rosario Central (ARG) on Thursday night (13), Timão returned from Argentina on Friday (14) and reported back on Saturday afternoon (15) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.
Timão's afternoon began with a tactical instruction video in the Flexform Briefing Room. After strength work in the gym and a warm-up on the pitch, head coach Fernando Diniz led a ten-versus-ten tactical exercise. He used the session to instruct the team in various game situations. Set pieces were also worked on.
Coming off a 2-0 win over Red Bull Bragantino, Timão enter this round with 32 points in eighth place. Available to Fernando Diniz for the match, midfielder André Carrillo wants a very alert Corinthians side for this direct clash. Cruzeiro have one point more than Alvinegro and sit in fifth place.
"Playing at home is always important. We know we're in a good moment, the team is improving. We're going for the three points, as we always do. Cruzeiro have quality players and an experienced team. We have to stay alert; we can't give away any openings because we are very strong at home," he shared.

"Like an owl that flew far in search of a home, I found a place for my heart to live." And Tricolor is Calleri's home, as he has renewed his contract with the club until December 31, 2028, with an option to extend it through the end of 2029 based on a sporting target — his previous deal was valid until December 31, 2026.
Champion of the 2023 Copa do Brasil and the 2024 Supercopa do Brasil, Jonathan Calleri has built a journey marked by goals and countless demonstrations of love for São Paulo across his two spells at the club.
"I'm very happy and very grateful to the São Paulo fans. I'm very happy to stay with you for two more years. I hope to bring great joy to our supporters," celebrated the 32-year-old Argentine center forward.
After a short spell in 2016, when he was a semifinalist and top scorer in the CONMEBOL Libertadores with nine goals, the striker returned in August 2021 to reaffirm his connection with the São Paulo fans.
Calleri has made 262 appearances for Tricolor, with 91 goals and 30 ****** ists, and has racked up a number of scoring marks: São Paulo's top scorer this season (12 goals so far), São Paulo's all-time top scorer in the CONMEBOL Libertadores (14 goals), MorumBIS' highest-scoring foreign player (54 goals), the highest-scoring foreign player in the Brazilian Championship (47 goals), and the highest-scoring foreign player in knockout matches (14 goals). He is also the club's second-highest foreign scorer overall (91 goals), third-highest scorer in international competitions (17 goals), and fourth-highest scorer for Tricolor in the 21st century (91 goals).

At nearly 4,000 meters above sea level in La Paz, Bolivia, São Paulo drew 1-1 with Bolívar on Tuesday (11) in the first leg of the 2026 Conmebol Sudamericana round of 16.
Highlights coming up shortly
Tricolor Paulista positioned themselves well on the pitch and opened the scoring through Arboleda in the first half.
It was the Ecuadorian center-back's first goal after leaving the club midway through the season, only to be brought back into the squad after being backed by director Rafinha.
However, despite a solid first half, São Paulo could not withstand the opposition's pressure.

Over nearly 150 years of football in Brazil, the phrase "There are things that only happen to Botafogo" has become a kind of "intangible national heritage."
But the current situation at São Paulo Futebol Clube is quickly moving toward replacing Glorioso in the country's folklore.
Simply put, hours before the match against Bolívia, in the first leg of the Conmebol Sudamericana 2026 round of 16, the bus that was supposed to be used by the Tricolor squad was seized with 86.5 kg of marijuana on board!
The bus company that had been hired provided another vehicle for the São Paulo delegation, which was not even informed of the police incident.
But folklore quickly catches on with the people.

Fluminense take the field this Tuesday (11) at the Maracanã at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) to face Independiente Rivadavia in the first leg of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores Round of 16.
The return leg will be next Tuesday (18) at Estádio Malvinas Argentinas, at the same time.
Also, because they had the worst overall campaign in the group stage, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras will always play the second leg away from home through the semifinals.
The 2026 Libertadores final — once again a single-match final — is scheduled for November 28 at Estadio Centenario in Uruguay.

Fifa has hit out at what it described as attempts to "undermine" its embattled president, Gianni Infantino.
Infantino has faced calls to resign from his role in the aftermath of a saga that saw him abandon a proposed plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup and other Fifa competitions.
That proposal brought the threat of a boycott from Uefa, European football's governing body, with England's Football **** ociation (FA) among those to officially withdraw their support for the Fifa president.
Infantino is due to seek re-election in March of next year. He has received backing from South American body Conmebol and the Confederation of African Football (Caf).

Lionel Messi's first club, Newell's Old Boys, and Argentinian newspapers Ole and Clarin also reported on the passing. Details about the cause of death were not disclosed.
"With deep sorrow and grief, Newell's Old Boys bids farewell to Jorge Messi, who passed away at the age of 68 in the city of Rosario," Newell's wrote.
Jorge Messi's health was a concern during the recent World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Gianni Infantino is thinking bigger once again.
Shortly before the end of the first World Cup with 48 teams and 104 matches, the president of football's world governing body FIFA has opened the door to a possible next expansion to 64 teams and 128 matches, which would be double the amount of teams and matches compared to 2022.
Critics of the proposal originally submitted by the South American confederation CONMEBOL in 2025 were quick to speak out. But there are also some positive aspects.
The Pros
More inclusion: The core argument is identical to that of the 48-team World Cup. Another expansion would enable truly global participation. Oceania could receive two places instead of one, Africa 13 instead of 9 and Asia 12 instead of 8. It may also help Italy back onto the world stage after missing out three times in a row.

Corriere dello Sport confirms that Napoli have an agreement in place with Boca Juniors talent Exequiel Zeballos, whose agent met Giovanni Manna in Naples earlier this week.
Boca Juniors winger Zeballos, 24, is ready to join Napoli and has already agreed to personal terms with the Serie A giants.
The news was first reported by Alfredo Pedullà earlier this week, and Corriere dello Sport adds more details about the agreement between Napoli and the Argentine.
According to the report, Zeballos has agreed to sign a four-year deal worth €1.3m per season. Zeballos' agent reportedly met Napoli director Manna in Naples on Wednesday, confirming his client's desire to move to the Stadio Maradona.

It's been two days since the United States men's national team fell to Belgium in the Round of 16, after a disappointing 4-1 loss. But the World Cup keeps on trucking, with the quarterfinals beginning on Thursday, and U.S. fans will try to move on as well.
For USMNT fans who have gotten over their grief — or those who hope to overcome it by watching even more soccer — it's a perfect time to pick a new, arbitrary team to root for in the next round. Eight teams remain, six of them UEFA, one CAF and one CONMEBOL.
When it comes to picking a second-chance team, no reason is too small: Maybe one country holds your family's history, or you like the color of their jerseys, or maybe you're just really tired of the teams that always win.
All eight are worthy of your honorary support, but if you need them, here are a few reasons to cheer on each of the remaining teams.
In 2022, it was France's chance to go back-to-back. Les Bleus nearly pulled off a miracle in the final behind a hat trick from captain and star striker Kylian Mbappé: First, Mbappé scored two goals in a two-minute span to send the game to extra time, then he scored in extra time to send the game to penalties. But in the penalty shootout, Argentina got the win. Mbappé won the Golden Boot, and on the way to collect his trophy, he was forced to walk past the World Cup trophy, his true desire.

The twenty-third edition of the World Cup has turned into a true nightmare for CONMEBOL. Following Colombia’s recent elimination, the continent has suffered an unprecedented competitive purge, losing five of its six representatives. Now, the entire region is placing its hopes on Argentina, the only bastion still standing.
The road for the South American national teams was marked by institutional crises and a lack of efficiency:
Uruguay: Marcelo Bielsa’s cycle ended in despair. They were eliminated in the group stage with just two points, prompting the coach’s immediate resignation.
Ecuador: Despite ending a historic unbeaten run, they suffered from severe “goal-scoring anemia,” which triggered Sebastián Beccacece’s departure in the round of 16.
Paraguay: Managed by Gustavo Alfaro, they put in a respectable showing by eliminating Germany, but bowed out against France in the round of 16.

Money talks. It usually does in modern football, and Flamengo have seemingly listened. After dug-in resistance from the Rio de Janeiro board earlier in the week, Aston Villa have forced a breakthrough. A tweaked bid did the trick. Villa raised their offer to €10m (£8.6m) for Emerson Royal after a cheaper €9m opening gambit was swiftly knocked back.
Journalist Venê Casagrande broke the news of the sudden shift in stance, with Rio outlet O Dia, via Sport Witness, reporting that club chiefs now expect a quick exit. Financial reality has simply overridden footballing doubt.
It hasn’t been a happy homecoming for the defender. Royal joined Flamengo from AC Milan last season but never truly settled under the bright lights of the Maracanã. 40 appearances yielded just one goal and five **** ists. He looked a yard off the pace. Consistency was hard to come by, and the fans noticed.

Unai Emery knows exactly what he wants from his back line. Pragmatism is the word here. The Spaniard loves a right-back who can tuck inside, morphing into a makeshift back three when the left-back flies forward. Royal has the raw physical tools for this. He relishes a scrap on the ground and puts his body about. Yet, there are glaring issues.
