The Brasileirão Matchday 37 is history, and we have all the results we predicted in our preview a few days ago.
Palmeiras continues on the winning track to stay at the top of the standings, while Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo also won and remain 3 points off the top. However, everything depends on Palmeiras, as they can win or draw on the last matchday to win the 2023 Brasileirao championship.
It is worth mentioning the terrible level that Botafogo is showing in this last stage of the season since the team has drawn five matches in a row and, at the moment, they are out of the direct Copa Libertadores places. And it is that, let’s remember that ‘O’Fogo’ led the table for much of the season, so this becomes a hard blow for this club.
Here is a summary of what happened in the best matches of matchday 37 of the Brasileirao.

Where can I watch it?
Atletico Mineiro stepped up to the plate and earned a solid 2-1 win over Sao Paulo to keep their hopes of challenging for the top spot in the standings alive.
Contrary to what we would have thought, this match was thoroughly dominated by the away side. In addition, it is also worth mentioning that Atlético Mineiro only shot at goal on two occasions, and those were the team’s two goals. That’s how robust São Paulo’s defense was in this match.
The match was static and a bit boring for almost 80 minutes. However, in the 77th minute, Hulk opened the scoring for Atlético Mineiro with a great goal. When we all thought the match would end with a 1-0 score in favor of Atlético Mineiro, Luciano de Rocha Neves equalized the actions 1-1 in minute 90+1′ through a penalty kick.
Finally, seconds before the final whistle, Paulinho scored the definitive 2-1 for Atlético Mineiro to keep them in the race for the Brasileirão championship trophy.
Result: Atlético Mineiro (2) – (1) São Paulo

Where can I watch it?
Another intense match was between Flamengo and Cuiabá, even more than you might expect. Let’s remember Flamengo is fighting for first place in the table, while Cuiabá barely stays within the Copa Sudamericana places.
It all started with an excellent goal by Luiz Araújo for Flamengo in the 6th minute, which opened the door to a relentless attack by the home team. Just before the whistle blew for the end of the first half, Pedro Guilherme Abreu dos Santos made it 2-0 in the 45+4′.
That undoubtedly left Cuiabá on the ropes, who had only one shot on goal during the match.
Finally, in the 79th minute, Clayson da Silva Vieira scored Cuiabá’s consolation goal through a penalty.
Result: Flamengo (2) – (1) Cuiabá
Brasileirão Matchday 37 – Roundup – Palmeiras vs. Fluminense – Info
When:
Sunday, December 3 at 02:00 PM ET at Allianz Parque
Moneyline odds:
Palmeiras -235
Fluminense +640
Draw Offs:
+365
Where can I watch it?
Finally, Palmeiras took a big step towards winning the 2023 Brasileirao champions trophy by defeating Fluminense in a very tight and decisive match with a score of 1-0.
Although the score was very close, there is no doubt that Palmeiras deserved to win this match by far and by more goals. They generated 22 dangerous situations, 5 of which ended in shots on goal. On the contrary, Fluminense only approached the Palmeiras area on six occasions, shooting at goal two times.
However, the lack of effectiveness of the strikers took its toll on Palmeiras, who had to settle for the only goal Breno Henrique Vasconcelos Lopes scored in the 30th minute.
Similarly, Fluminense tried several times, but the expulsion of Lucas da Silva Justen in the 55th minute conditioned the team, and they had to play very defensively.
