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.
