Palmeiras and Fluminense win big away, stay in hunt for top spot
The Brazilian Under-17 Championship concluded its fourth round this Wednesday (17), keeping the battle between Palmeiras and Fluminense—respectively the leader and runner-up—tight. Both teams won their away matches in convincing fashion and remain in the fight for the top of the table. The fifth round will be played starting next Tuesday (23), with nine matches.
On Tuesday (16), Palmeiras traveled to Nilton Santos Stadium to face Botafogo and thrashed the home side 6-2, staying on top thanks to goal difference. Fluminense, in second place, faced São Paulo in Cotia on Wednesday (17) and was also an unwelcome visitor, winning 4-1. It was the first goal conceded by the Rio tricolor in the competition, and it now has a goal difference only two goals worse than the leader.
Also on Tuesday, Cruzeiro (3rd) beat Corinthians (6th) 3-2, Fortaleza (4th) defeated Juventude (14th) 3-1 at CT Ribamar Bezerra, Atlético-MG (9th) beat Flamengo (19th) 3-1 at Gávea, and Santos (8th) edged Bahia (11th) 1-0 in Camaçari.
To complete the round, on Wednesday, América-MG (5th) thrashed Internacional (16th) 6-1 in Betim; Vitória (17th) beat Grêmio (15th) 1-0 in Eldorado do Sul; Red Bull Bragantino (7th) defeated Vasco (12th) 3-2 in Campinas; and Athletico-PR (10th) won 3-1 over bottom-placed Atlético-GO.
