Overview
- Red Bull Bragantino beat Corinthians 3–0 with a Jhon Jhon brace and a Henry Mosquera strike to reach six points and the top of the Paulistão table.
- Corinthians used mostly reserves and coach Dorival Júnior cited injuries, fatigue and scheduling congestion, urging calm before Sunday’s Majestoso against São Paulo.
- Botafogo opened the Carioca with a largely sub-20 lineup and a 2–0 win at Portuguesa-RJ through Caio Valle and Lucas Camilo, while the club’s sub-17 advanced to the Copinha last 16 after a 4–1 win over Juventude.
- Palmeiras reached the Copinha round of 16 after a 1–1 draw and a 13–12 shootout over Flamengo de Guarulhos, with a heavy-rain power outage delaying penalties and goalkeeper Aranha saving the decisive kick.
- São Paulo progressed in the Copinha by routing Operário-PR 5–1 with a Gustavo Santana hat-trick and, in the Paulistão, returned to Morumbi to edge São Bernardo 1–0 through substitute Luciano as rain and club turmoil kept attendance down.
