Fluminense came from behind to crush Korean representative, Ulsan Hyundai. |
On the morning of June 22, Fluminense came from behind to defeat Ulsan Hyundai with a score of 4-2 to put one foot in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, extending the impressive streak of achievements of Brazilian football in the tournament.
So far, all four Brazilian teams in the tournament are leading their groups after two matches, confirming the strength and potential of samba football on the international stage. On June 21, Flamengo also caused a shock with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea.
A day earlier, Botafogo maintained their winning streak, after defeating PSG 1-0. Palmeiras, with a 2-0 win over Al Ahly and a 0-0 draw with Porto in the first match, are on track to advance in Group A.
After eight group stage matches at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Brazilian clubs are unbeaten. They have won six, drawn two, and kept five clean sheets. Flamengo, Botafogo, Palmeiras, and Fluminense have scored a combined 14 goals and conceded just four.
It's not the teams from Europe, it's the Brazilian teams that are showing impressive form and making people wonder, who can stop them in this tournament?
Brazilian teams have taken advantage of their tactical flexibility and physical fitness to cope with the hot summers in the US, a challenge for European teams, as The Athletic points out. "My coach, Enzo Maresca, told me that Brazilian teams can win this tournament. They are strong contenders," Flamengo coach Filipe Luis revealed.
This is something that few people would have thought of before the tournament. Obviously, Brazilian club football has always been a world power. This success also reflects the strength of the Brazilian National Championship (Brasileirão or Serie A), a tournament famous for its harshness and always producing talent.
