The Brasileiro U20 Championship served up a thrilling start to its sixth round on Tuesday, with two matches combining for a staggering ten goals. The action kicked off in São Paulo, where Cruzeiro and Red Bull Bragantino played out a dramatic 3-3 draw at CPD Atibaia.

In a match defined by momentum swings, Cruzeiro took the lead on three separate occasions, only for a resilient Bragantino side to fight back each time. The final equalizer came deep into second-half stoppage time, securing a valuable point for Bragantino. Despite the draw, the result propelled Cruzeiro into second place with 13 points, level with leaders Palmeiras who hold the advantage on goal difference. Bragantino, however, remains in 19th and the relegation zone.

The goal-fest continued as Cuiabá secured a 3-1 home victory over Botafogo at CT Manoel Dresch. The win lifts the Mato Grosso side to 10th in the standings, while Botafogo sits in 15th place.

The round promises more exciting youth football with a full slate of matches on Wednesday. Key fixtures include a top-of-the-table clash as Bahia hosts leaders Palmeiras, and a classic rivalry renewed when Grêmio takes on Flamengo. All Wednesday matches are scheduled for a 3 p.m. local kickoff.

The action wraps up on Thursday with Avaí hosting São Paulo and a highly anticipated Paulista derby between Corinthians and Santos under the lights at Parque São Jorge.
