If winning and the bridge does not win their game, Palmeiras will go to the quarterfinals and will prevent the shame from being out of the knockout of the tournament, something that has not occurred since 2010. The result in the Palmeirense Arena decreed the elimination of Botafogo, who It records 11 points in Group A, in which Corinthians and Mirassol advanced. Recovered with flu, Stephen was the protagonist of the Palmeirense turn. He scored a great goal, the draw, and participated in the second, opening the great dependence that he has the team of Abel Ferreira.
Palmeiras faced the same limitations as the latest problems and repeated the mistakes that have disturbed it. Nervous, it was unproductive and very dependent on his star, the young Stephen, who returned to his best form. It was his great goal that prevented the team from going to the break in disadvantage after Alexandre Jesus went to the networks taking advantage of a “landlord” in the defense Palmeirense.
Stephen tied with a painting that, from the cast, only he is able to star. Persecuted by three, the boy dribbled, ripped, tabulated with Raphael Veiga, entered the area and scored with a bad leg, right, with a touch over the goalkeeper. Marcos Rocha also shook the net, but after being missed at Ghana Sabit Abdulai. Therefore, your goal was canceled with the aid of VAR.
He didn’t do much again Palmeiras, which finished the first half under boos. The organized, after spending 45 minutes in silence as a protest, decided to protest otherwise, with charges to President Leila Pereira and director Anderson Barros:
“Oh Leila, incompetent, took Palmeiras to play with president,” they sang before cursing the executive. “Hey, Barros. Will take it at C*. ”
Coincidence or not, the hosts returned with another posture for the second half. Although still disorganized and leaving spaces for the rival of Ribeirão Preto counter-attacar, the alviverde team got triangular and intensified the pressure.
Always led by Stephen, Palmeiras concentrated their attacks on the right, insisted with bids from outside the area and from the top until he found the goal of the turn in the suffocation, in a move that started with Stephen cross, had the Murilo and ended with the Facundo Torres Knee Conclusion and the consequent Palmeirense relief.
More relaxed, the alviverde team made the third with the boy Luighi in a blow after light cut and sacred the victory that relieves, albeit momentarily, the pressure and leaves the team of Abel Ferreira to decide his life in the tournament In the last round.
