Overview
- Flamengo drew 1–1 at Atlético-MG with a stoppage-time header from Bruno Henrique, while a largely reserve Palmeiras side lost 3–2 to Grêmio.
- The results widened Flamengo’s lead to five points (75–70) with two matches left, and a win over Ceará at the Maracanã next round would clinch the league.
- UFMG’s model now estimates title probabilities at roughly 95.9% for Flamengo, 2.9% for Palmeiras and 1.2% for Cruzeiro.
- Palmeiras prioritized the Libertadores by resting starters and will fly directly from Porto Alegre to Lima, whereas Flamengo returned to Rio before traveling to Peru.
- Both clubs now turn to Saturday’s Copa Libertadores final in Lima, with Flamengo having used more core players and reporting a right-thigh concern for Luiz Araújo.
