São Paulo managed today (10) to win the first game in the history of Allianz Parque by beating Palmeiras 2-0, with goals from Reinaldo and Vitor Bueno, in a match on the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. Fernando Diniz’s team broke the taboo, opened an advantage for the rival in the championship table, continues in the G4 and continues to put pressure on Vanderlei Luxemburg, very disputed by the alviverde fans.
The victory, in addition to history, is very important for São Paulo, which reaches 26 points and continues to mark the leader Atlético-MG. Palmeiras, who in the last round had lost for the first time after 20 games, remain parked with 22, in fifth position and may fall with the complement of the round.
Anyway, the first in Allianz
São Paulo won the first game against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque after ten games. It is true that in Paulistão last year the teams tied, but the match was tricolor with the victory on penalties in that semi-final. But in addition to this tie, there were only eight defeats, with four goals scored and 24 conceded. Tricolor did not win Verdão, counting all the stadiums, since 2017: there were four draws and six defeats.
Boy opens and commits a penalty
Recovered from an injury suffered to his right thigh, Esteves was a novelty at Palmeiras, replacing Viña, who is contesting the World Cup qualifier. Making his debut in the season and in his second professional game, the left-back had difficulties to score and committed the penalty on Igor Vinícius, converted by Reinaldo to open the scoring at Allianz Parque.
Reinaldo lies down and rolls
The 6 São Paulo jersey was very smart and took advantage of Marcos Rocha’s constant space on the back. It was his only tri-color kick in the first half, but after the break it became an even more dangerous weapon. In addition to the goal, he hit two more dangerous shots: one caught Jailson and the other passed very close to the post. He also participated in the play of the second goal. What a night!
Strategy or desperation?
After leaving behind on the scoreboard, Vanderlei Luxembourg quickly made the five exchanges, and 25 minutes into the second half he could not change. In the next minute, defender Luan was injured and couldn’t get out. Thus, Palmeiras played almost half of the last stage in a patched way, with the 13 shirt in front, moving little, Luiz Adriano almost as point guard, and Ramires in defense with Felipe Melo. Scarpa, one of those who entered, still injured his ankle.
Volpi shines the only time I needed
Tiago Volpi did very little work at Allianz Parque, and the only time he was called, he shone in a beautiful defense on Gustavo Scarpa’s free kick. With the ball rolling, Fernando Diniz’s team took few risks and thus managed to reach the second consecutive game without leaking, after recent criticism. Vitor Bueno, with Palmeiras completely patched up, still closed the scoreboard, in extra time.
Did you put pressure on the other side?
Fernando Diniz and Vanderlei Luxemburg exchanged a long hug before the match started. Both reached the arena on benches, but under strong criticism from the fans. The São Paulo commander, even Choque-Rei, was the one who seemed to be most at risk of losing his position, but now he puts the pressure on the other side of the classic. The alviverde board, despite the accusations on social networks, was determined to keep the position with the commander who won the Paulista Championship, but does not make Verdão play in the Brazilian.
