Verdon has not lost in the National Championship since June 1, before the Parade for the Club World Cup; If you won, team from São Paulo had taken provisional leadership
In a balanced game at Fonte Nova on Sunday (28), Palmeiras lost to Bahia 1-0, saw crumbling almost four months in the Brazilian Championship and lost the chance to take over, even momentarily, the leadership of the competition. Verdon is in third place with 49 points – one from Cruzeiro and two from Flamengo, which will face Corinthians, at 20h, in Itaquera. The last Palmeirense defeat in Brasileirão had happened on June 1, before the stop for the Club World Cup. It was a duel in Mineirão, which ended with Cruzeiro’s 1-0 win.
Between the match in Belo Horizonte and today’s defeat, there were 11 games without losing in the Brazilian. In the meantime, Abel Ferreira discovered the infernal double Flaco-Roca (formed by Flaco López and Vitor Roque), who once again played a good game. But although they bother the tricolor defenders, they didn’t get the best. Who made the difference was Ademir, an attacker who entered the second half and scored a goal. After direct connection needs goalkeeper Ronaldo, the Bahia player faced Piquerez, left the Uruguayan talking alone and kicked right to score the goal of the tricolor triumph.
