Matchday 23 of the 2026 Brasileirão commenced on Saturday (15). In the day’s opening match, Fluminense staged a comeback to defeat Palmeiras 3-2 at the Maracanã Stadium. The game was marked by refereeing controversy, saw Hulk make his way into the “grandpas’ ranking”, and featured coach Abel Ferreira arguing with journalists.

In the second match, Athletico-PR and RB Bragantino ended in a 1-1 draw at Arena da Baixada. The highlight of this match was goalkeeper Tiago Volpi, who stood on his head and shut down most of Furacão’s attacking moves.

Later that evening, São Paulo faced Coritiba, resulting in another 1-1 draw at MorumBIS. This outcome proved detrimental for Tricolor Paulista, marking a worrying streak of a NINTH straight Brasileirão match without a win (their last victory dating back to April).
