Fluminense dominates sub‑17 league as Bahia slips in sub‑17 and other youth matches shape Brazil's junior championships

Fluminense defeated São Paulo 4‑1 in the fourth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub‑17, keeping a perfect record of 12 points and drawing level with Palmeiras on points but trailing on goal difference. In the same age group, Bahia lost at home to Santos 1‑0, the sole goal scored by Ian Visentin, while Daniel David – nephew of senior striker Hulk – featured prominently for the hosts.

In the Sub‑20 competition, Bahia drew 1‑1 with Vasco in Salvador, leaving the team outside the top‑8 (G‑8) and in 11th place with 23 points. Corinthians beat Vitória 2‑1 at the Fazendinha stadium, moving into eighth place and keeping a quarter‑final spot alive. Meanwhile, Fluminense prepared to face Red Bull Bragantino in Campinas, a match that could boost its chances of reaching the Sub‑20 quarter‑finals.

These results reflect a tightly contested youth season with several clubs vying for promotion to the knockout stages.
