Conmebol has unveiled its Team of the Week for the third round of the Libertadores group stage, and Brazilian clubs have made their mark with two standout players earning spots on the list. The announcement, made this Friday (1st), highlights the growing influence of Brazil's top teams in South America's premier club competition.

Midweek action saw Brazilian clubs deliver a mixed but largely positive performance, securing three wins out of six matches. Cruzeiro edged out Boca Juniors 1-0 in a tense encounter, while Mirassol cruised to a 2-0 victory over Always Ready. Corinthians also impressed, defeating Peñarol 2-0 with a commanding display.

However, not all went smoothly for the Brazilian contingent. Flamengo and Palmeiras both took early leads on the road, only to see their opponents fight back. Estudiantes clawed their way to a 1-1 draw with Flamengo, while Cerro Porteño did the same against Palmeiras, leaving both Brazilian sides with a point instead of three.

The only Brazilian team to suffer defeat was Fluminense, who fell 2-0 to Bolívar in a challenging away fixture. The loss serves as a reminder of the fierce competition in this year's group stage.

Looking ahead, the remaining Brazilian clubs will all be playing away in their next matches, adding another layer of difficulty as they aim to secure their spots in the knockout rounds. With the group stage heating up, every point counts in the race for Libertadores glory.
