Fluminense, Cruzeiro Claim Wins as Round 24 of 2026 Brasileirão Begins
Three matches opened the 24th round of the 2026 Brasileirão on Saturday, October 22.
In the day’s first match, Fluminense secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Remo, maintaining their position in the top four of the standings. This win underscores the team’s strong performance since Marcão was appointed head coach until the end of the season.
In Porto Alegre, Internacional and Atlético-MG faced off but ended in a cold 0-0 draw at Beira-Rio. The standout moment came when Alan Minda dribbled past the goalkeeper and left two Inter players on the ground, but was denied a goal as Aguirre cleared it off the line.
In the final match, Cruzeiro made an impressive comeback to defeat Flamengo 2-1 at Mineirão. Matheus Pereira scored the winning goal with the final kick of the game, bringing Cruzeiro close to the top four, and providing a boost to Palmeiras, who can again extend their lead over the Rubro-Negro at the top of the table.
This victory marked Cruzeiro’s fourth consecutive win in the Brasileirão, a streak matched only by league leaders Palmeiras. Meanwhile, Flamengo faced their second consecutive loss in the national championship, a situation they had not encountered since May 23.

Next, Internacional and Atlético-MG were “frozen” by the cold in Porto Alegre and could not break the deadlock in a 0-0 draw at Beira-Rio.
The best move of the match came when Alan Minda dribbled past the goalkeeper and left two Inter players on the ground, but did not score because Aguirre cleared it off the line.
Finally, in their third game in 10 days, Cruzeiro came from behind to beat Flamengo 2-1 at Mineirão.
Matheus Pereira’s goal with the last kick of the game not only left Raposa right on the heels of the top four, but also helped Palmeiras, who can once again open up a six-point lead over Rubro-Negro at the top.

Cruzeiro made it four straight wins in the Brasileirão, a feat matched only by leaders Palmeiras, while Flamengo lost again in the national championship, something that had not happened since May 23 (3-0 to Palmeiras, in round 17).
