Palmeiras defeated Botafogo in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, USA.  A lone goal from substitute Paulinho secured a tough victory for Palmeiras against Botafogo. Abel Ferreira’s Verdão is set to return to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Friday, July 4, 2025, to face the winners of the SL Benfica-Chelsea FC match.

Botafogo, which gained attention for defeating Champions League champion PSG in the group stage, finished second in Group B, while Palmeiras led Group A despite two draws.

Palmeiras and Botafogo met again, three months after their Serie A encounter that ended in a 0-0 draw. Palmeiras enters this match after a draw against Inter Miami last Monday in the FIFA Club World Championship Group stage, extending their unbeaten run to three games. Recently, they have demonstrated strong defensive capabilities at home, achieving three consecutive clean sheets.

“That name is a guarantee … He’s young, fast, quality, he scores a lot: with Kolo who has regained confidence, he can do great things, even if Italy is not France. Then there’s Yildiz: what a talent! Vlahovic must prove he deserves his place.” Dusan, mistakes, and tensions: even with Kenan

Chelsea defeated Benfica in extra time on Saturday, June 28, 2025, during the FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Chelsea qualified for the Quarterfinals and will face Palmeiras on Friday, 4 July.

Having topped their group, Benfica is on a strong streak, having achieved victories against Bayern Munich and Auckland City.  Chelsea also comes into this match with confidence, having won their last game against Esperance.

Chelsea gained the advantage in the 64th minute. Reece James netted a free kick with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. Benfica’s goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin had no chance to stop it.

Benfica was down to 10 players by the 92nd minute. Gianluca Prestianni received a second yellow card for a foul on Levi Colwill.

Remarkably, Benfica leveled the score in the 90+5′ minute, making it 1-1. Ángel Di María successfully converted the penalty with a left-footed shot directed at the center of the goal. The penalty was awarded after Malo Gusto (Chelsea) committed a handball in the penalty area.  The game is extended to extra time.

Chelsea scored the first goal in the 108th minute. Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea) took a right-footed shot from very close range, sending it to the top right corner.

Chelsea netted another goal in the 114th minute. Pedro Neto took a left-footed shot from the center of the box, sending it to the top left corner. This was set up by Moisés Caicedo after a quick counterattack.

Benfica is in serious trouble. In the 117th minute, Chelsea scored again. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall took a left-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom right corner. He was assisted by Cole Palmer, who made a through ball during a quick counterattack. Benfica 1 – Chelsea 4

👉What a lesson from City: 5-2
Juve, too much Pep

Many errors, Bianconeri unrecognizable without Yildiz. Guardiola has no mercy, Tudor ahead as second place

👉Inter rely on Esposito

Pio beats Hojlund

Goal, big performance and Round of 16 with Fluminense. The centre forward (20 years old tomorrow) surpasses the Dane and will remain Nerazzurro

👉The Rossonero market
Milan dream of Gyokeres
From Morata and Thiaw to Como another 41 million coming

Goal, big performance and Round of 16 with Fluminense. The center forward (20 years old tomorrow) surpasses the Dane and will remain Nerazzurro

Front Page Corriere dello Sport, Friday 27 June 2025

👉Overwhelmed by City
Bianconeri in the World Cup round of 16 but in second place

Juve, the wake-up call
Learning from Pep: 2-5
David gets closer

Doku opens the scoring, Koop responds, then Kalulu scores an own goal. In the second half, Haaland, Foden, Savinho, and Vlahovic score. A turning point for the Canadian striker.

👉Rich and poor, the two faces of FIFA football

👉Pio sinks River (2-0) and takes Inter
Esposito replies to Bonny and Hojlund

👉Napoli-Lang it’ time
Manna doesn’t stop: Juanlu and Benkeuma

👉Ricci enters Casa Milan
Tare also books Xhaka

👉Morata and Thiaw for Fabregas
Jesus Rodriguez, Como one step away

👉Malago’s revenge
Buonfiglio to CONI

👉City are on another level and make Comolli and Tudor understand where is obliged to intervene
Juve, what a wake-up!
2-5

Ahead in the World Cup as second place. Errors everywhere and horrors in defense (incredible Kalulu own goal), but the difference with the top teams is beyond that: adequate reinforcement needed. A genius pass from Yildiz sets up Vlahovic’s goal, but he made too many errors. Savona alarm.

👉Pio protagonist against River
Esposito is worthy of Inter, Hojlund shoved away

The young striker and Bastoni give a 2-0 for the Round of 16 against Fluminense. Now the Nerazzurri reflect: him and not the Dane with Bonny?

👉He wants to reassure the Torino coach about his motivations
Zaniolo calls Baroni

👉20 million to Atalanta
Ruggeri to Atletico Madrid
Como: Thiaw too
