Verdon reached 19 points, two more than Flamengo and Red Bull Bragantino; result knocked down the last invincibility of the competition
Everything was headed for a goalless draw on Sunday’s King-Rei (11), played at the Barueri Arena, but a goal from Vitor Roque 50 minutes into the second half gave Palmeiras win against Sao Paulo 1-0, who put Abel Ferreira’s team in the leadership of Brasileirão (19 points, two more than Flamengo and Red Bull Bragantino). In addition, Verdon ended the last unbeatenness of the competition. Until the decisive bid, the game was warm, with the slightly superior palm trees. The team had possession and, especially in the first half, stifled the rival’s ball, but had difficulty entering the area. Estevão, on the Palmeirense side, and Oscar, for the tricolor, had good chances, but the first kicked out after great drag, while the second, face to face with Weverton, hit the goalkeeper.
Just before the Alviverde Gol, Luciano received free, in the area, but did not know what to do with the ball. In the attack of Palmeiras, Vitor Roque received on the left side of the area, played for Felipe Anderson and appeared to check in rebound, after a great save of Rafael. The victory marks Vitor Roque’s turnaround, who lost an incredible chance against Cerro Porteño on Wednesday (7), but the same night scored a great goal. Hero of the king shock, the Tigrinho heard his name shouted by the fans.
