Palmeiras closed the group stage of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with an emotional performance against Inter Miami. Trailing 0-2 after a brace from Luis Suarez, coach Abel Ferreira's team fought back strongly in the final 10 minutes, firing 10 shots and spectacularly equalizing thanks to goals from Paulinho and Mauricio.
Earlier, the Sao Paulo side drew 0-0 with Porto and defeated Al Ahly 2-0. With this result, Palmeiras entered the knockout stages of the FIFA Club World Cup unbeaten. They finished top of Group A with 5 points from 3 matches, ahead of Inter Miami on goal difference.
With Botafogo, no longer the inexperienced team of previous years, coach Renato Paiva's team is writing a fairy tale at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Not only did they beat MLS champions Seattle Sounders, they also shocked the world by knocking out European giants PSG, the first CONMEBOL win over a UEFA team in the competition in 13 years. Corinthians had beaten Chelsea in the 2012 final.
Despite losing 0-1 to Atletico Madrid in the final match, Botafogo still won the top spot in Group B thanks to a better goal difference than their opponents to advance to the knockout round.
Botafogo are unbeaten in their last five meetings, winning three of their last five against Palmeiras. The last time the two teams met was in the opening round of the Brazilian National Championship in March, which ended in a goalless draw but featured 26 shots.
More notably, last season, it was Botafogo who dethroned Palmeiras to ascend to the top of the Brazilian National Championship, ending the domination of "Verdao" for two consecutive years.
In the Copa Libertadores last season, Botafogo also dramatically eliminated Palmeiras in the round of 16 with a total score of 4-3, creating the premise for the journey to the first South American championship in the club's history.
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will be only the second time the tournament has seen a “Brazilian civil war”. The previous final was in 2000, when Corinthians beat Vasco da Gama on penalties.
The winner of today's match will face either Chelsea or Benfica in the quarter-finals. And with the desire to assert the power of Brazilian football, both Palmeiras and Botafogo aim to extend their journey at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
