With three goals in just 23 minutes, Abel Ferreira’s team resolved the match in the first half and now adds 52 points
He again imposed himself at Allianz Parque and defeated the 3-0 on Wednesday (1). With three goals in just 23 minutes, Abel Ferreira’s team resolved the match in the first half and resumed the vice-leadership of the Brazilian Championship, with 52 points. The victory had as protagonists Flaco López and Vitor Roque, the most decisive duo of national football at the moment. The Argentine scored twice and even assisted the young attacker to close the scoring. Vitor Roque swayed the nets again, but the bid was annulled by impediment.
Vasca defense, quite mismatched, suffered from Palmeirense pressure and was crucial for the result. The carioca team saw their unbeaten sequence fall and follows in the fight against relegation with 30 points. In addition, the taboo against rival Paulista continues: it’s been ten years without beating Palmeiras. Raphael Veiga, recovered from injury, returned to the starting lineup and was an important piece in the offensive construction, giving the pass to the first goal.
In the second half, the summer managed the advantage, diminished the rhythm and had good Weverton defenses to keep the goal intact. Palmeiras remains second, a position that will only be threatened if Cruzeiro wins the Flamengo leader this Thursday in Maracanã.
