Is the word resultados the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, grammar, and meaning of "resultados" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences are phonetic:

• Brazilian Portuguese: Vowels are more open and clearly articulated. In many Brazilian dialects, the "d" is palatalized, sounding slightly like "dj." The final "s" is typically pronounced as a sharp [s].
• Continental Portuguese: Vowels are much more reduced or "closed," meaning unstressed vowels are often shortened or nearly silent. The final "s" is pronounced as a "sh" sound ([ʃ]).
