The best and the worst of the weekend in Brazil | OneFootball

Most eyes were on the Copa Libertadores as far as South American football was concerned this weekend but there were plenty of stories in Brazil too.

Moment of magic

From Serie C to Serie A in two years. Fortaleza went wild at the weekend as they won Brazil’s second division just 12 months after winning promotion.

Former Brazil goalkeeper Rogério Ceni is now in charge at the club and he’s doing one hell of a job.

Moment of madness

Look away now, Martín Silva fans.

The game goes into added time and the Vasco goalkeeper makes an unforgivable mistake with no less than 94 minutes played to hand Grêmio the win.

Cause for concern

Flamengo and Botafogo fans clashed near Estádio Nilton Santos on Saturday evening. Police later reported that two people were wounded and one died.

It’s 2018 and we still need to say this: there’s no place for mindless violence at football!
