Amid the crisis caused by the elimination to the archrival in the Copa do Brasilwon him again on Sunday (10), at Allianz Parque. In front of Ceará, the center -forward Flaco López and Vitor Roque They shone to give the alviverde team greater tranquility, win by 2-1, and remain in the persecution of the leader Flemish. Not even the result can camouflage the bad moment lived by Palmeiras. The alviverde team showed their weaknesses: exaggeration in the amount of crosses, lack of impetus to complete the throws in the goal, defender being the finisher, athletes out of position and a mixture of indecision and apathy. Abel’s choices are not good either. Vitor Roque, again the best of the team, was not the 90 minutes on the field and was replaced even after shaking the nets.

This Sunday, Palmeiras denounced an attack by fireworks to the Football Academy at dawn.
The initial stage had hard faults committed by Ceará, which could have expelled Richardson, but the refereeing was godly. Apart from these tense bids, the match was sleepy until the first 45 minutes concluded. In the final whistle, Vaias echoed at Palmeirense stadium. The second half started in the same way as the first, with Palmeiras playing ball and without kicking in the goal. In this way, Ceará knew how to take advantage of the scarcity of alviverdes ideas to show how to be effective. Piquerez was inattentive to avoid the visitors’ bid, Galeano recovered to the Cearenses and played at the entrance of the area to Lourenço, who mended a beautiful kick and scored a great goal on 6 minutes. The goal cheered the team of Ceará, which rode good opportunities to expand the scorer at Allianz Parque.
At 20 minutes, a breath to the Palmeiras fan. Giay crossed, Flaco López tried the domain and the ball sneezed in William Machado’s arm inside the area. VAR recommended the bid review, and the judge was convinced to mark the penalty. López hit very well and left everything the same. The seriousness and conviction with which Flaco López charged the penalty and celebrated the draw generated another energy at Allianz. It didn’t take long for Palmeiras to pass the lead in the marker. Mauricio made a cross to the entry of the small area, Vitor Roque emerged to stew the network at 24.
Between 35 and 37 minutes, two bids decided with VAR intervention unnerved players and technical commissions. Vitor Roque was missed in the area, but there was an impediment at the beginning of the bid and the penalty was not scheduled. Soon after, Aylon did what would be Ceará’s equalizer, but he was in an irregular position and the bid was annulled. The visitors tried equality until the final moment, but the victory was Palmeirense.
