Brazil - Match 1

The Brazilian championship has got off to an exciting start. In the most important match of the day, at the Maracanã, a Flamengo still reeling from being knocked out of the Libertadores was beaten by the Palmeiras of the usual fantastic Edmundo, former Napoli and Fiorentina. A couple of great wins from the other carioca squads (meaning from Rio de Janeiro): Vasco just got the edge over América at Natal, while Botafogo surprised Internacional at Porto Alegre 3-2. Fluminense also did well to recover a great draw with Cruzeiro. The other teams of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, whose nickname is gauchos, also did badly: Grêmio lost badly against Paraná, Juventude was overawed by Corinthians. Santos of Vanderlei Luxemburgo, one of the tournament favourites, lost the opening game against Sport at Recife, fielding just one regular player in view of the mid-week challenge of the Libertadores quarter finals with the Mexicans of América. Sport’s town rivals, Náutico, did much worse: they were defeated at Belo Horizonte by Atlético Mineiro. Figueirense took six goals at home from Atlético Paranaense, while in the other early Saturday match, Sao Paulo beat Goiás at the Morumbi stadium: the second goal – a penalty – was scored by the goalie-goleador Rogerio Ceni, a formidable penalty kicker.
