Sports Weekly All-Media Reporter Xiaozhong reported that on June 15, two Brazilian teams appeared on the second day of the Club World Cup in the United States. Unexpectedly, Palmeiras drew 0-0 with Porto, and Botafogo narrowly defeated the Seattle Bayer 2-1. In both first rounds of Group A, they were 0-0 draws, and the 4 teams could only rank according to the number of yellow cards, and Palmeiras temporarily ranked third. After the first round of Group B, Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Atletico Madrid 4-0, ranked first in the group, and Botaforgo ranked second in the group.

The 2025 Club World Cup, the first 32 Club World Cup, Brazil has 4 teams participating, making it the country with the most participating teams. Brazil takes 2/3 of the six seats allocated to South America by FIFA. This situation occurs because the Brazilian team won the Liberators Cup for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024, Palmeiras in 2021, Flamenco in 2022, Fluminense in 2023, and Botafogo in 2024. According to FIFA rankings, two other places in South America were won by two traditional teams, Boca Youth and River Plate, from Argentina.

6 teams in South America, Flamenco, Palmeiras, River Plate and Fluminense, which are ranked first in the international rankings, while Boca Youth and Botafogo are ranked third. Among the four Brazilian teams, Palmeiras was assigned to Group A, with opponents including Miami International, Porto and Cairo Nationals. Botaforgo was assigned to Group B, with opponents including Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Seattle Gulf. Flamengo is in Group D, with opponents including Chelsea, Los Angeles FC and Tunisia Hope. Fluminense was assigned to Group F, with rivals including Dortmund, Ulsan HD and South African team Maglodi Sunset. Boca youth were assigned to Group C, while Riverbed was placed in Group E.

On June 14, the opening match of this Club World Cup, Miami International drew 0-0 with Cairo Egypt. On June 15, Palmeiras and Porto played in a match. Both teams were evenly matched and had a chance to score, but the goalkeepers of both teams performed bravely and made wonderful saves many times to ensure that their goal was not lost. Palmeiras' main goalkeeper is Weaverton. In his career, he has been selected for the Brazilian national team many times and played 10 times, and his level is naturally not bad. Porto No. 1 goalkeeper Diogo Costa just played in the European League semi-finals with the Portuguese national team and won the championship, but his gluteal muscle was injured, and the 33-year-old goalkeeper Claudio Ramos was replaced by his start in the Club World Cup. Although there are not many opportunities to play in Porto, Claudio Ramos also showed an extremely high level in the game against Palmeiras.

Because the two first rounds of the group ended 0-0, Team A Group 4 had to determine the seats with yellow cards. Cairo nationals only received one yellow card and ranked first in the group. Porto received two yellow cards and ranked second in the group. The Palmeiras player also received two yellow cards, but his head coach, Portuguese Abel Ferreira, received a yellow card in the 64th minute due to dissatisfaction with the referee, and Palmeiras ranked third with three yellow cards. Miami International received 4 yellow cards, including Suarez and Busquets, two former Barcelona stars, both dyed yellow, so they ranked last in the group.

Abel Ferreira was born on December 22, 1978 and is 46 years old. He became the head coach of Palmeiras in October 2020. In more than four years, he led the team to win two Liberators Cup championships, one South American Cup winners championship, two Brazilian League champions, one Brazilian Super Cup champion and three São Paulo state league champions, with a total of 10 championships. However, Abel Ferreira has a strong personality and a bad temper. She offended the media, the Football Association and referees in Brazil and has been very good at playing cards on the sidelines.

The yellow card he received against Porto was the 64th yellow card he received in the position of Palmeiras coach. In fact, it is a bit unworthy to eat this yellow card in the Club World Cup. At that time, Palmeiras was about to replace three players, but Honduran referee Said Martinez was reluctant to approve them to play. Abel Ferreira was a little angry and vented her dissatisfaction with the referee, but she ended up receiving a yellow card.

Abel Ferreira was yellowed with the Seattle Bayerns. In the first half, the Brazilian League team had a slightly advantage in possession of the ball, 51% to 49%. In the 28th minute, Jayle and Igor Jesus scored both headers. In the second half, the Seattle Bayerns launched a large attack, with Botafogo taking the lead, and the Seattle Bayerns once had a ball possession time of up to 60%. In the 75th minute, the Seattle Bayer scored a point with a header from Christian Roaldan. The ball raised by Rordan bounced on Igor Jesus, changing direction, making Botaforgo goalkeeper John Victor, who had already saved in the other direction, unable to turn the world back. At the last minute of the game, the Seattle Bayerman had another chance to win, but John Victor confiscated the ball. All three goals in this game were headers. The first ball is pushed into the cross, the second ball is pushed into the frontcourt after sending a free kick, and the third ball is pushed into the corner.

As the top team in the Brazilian League and South America, Palmeiras tied with the European middle-level team Porto, showing that there is still a big gap between South American football and Europe's top football. Botafogo led the lead in two goals in the first half, but was beaten by the 2022 Central and North America and the Caribbean Champions League champions in the second half, indicating that the gap between Central and North America and South America is not that big.

Palmeiras played against Porto, and after the Club World Cup, he would officially transfer to Chelsea's Premier League Brazilian striker Estewan was elected as the best player in the game. Botafogo played against the Seattle Gulf man, and Brazilian striker Igor Jesus was elected the best player in the game. Igor Jesus was selected for the Brazilian national team for the first time in the era of Dorival Junior. He played in the game and scored one goal. Estevan is Brazilian star, Brazil's new head coach Ancelotti says he is the hope for the future of Brazilian football.

Estewan was elected to the MVP

Group A of the four teams were evenly matched. Although they were the first team, it was not easy for Palmeiras to break through the siege and advance, but it was not impossible. In Group B, the new Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain is the only existence. To qualify in the group, Botaforgo must get points from Atletico Madrid, but that is not easy. Brazil has four club World Cup teams, Palmeiras and Flamengo are strong. Judging from the grouping situation, the chances of Flamengo's group qualifying seem to be greater, and Fluminense also has a chance.
