Fernando Diniz’s team achieved an unprecedented victory in the new home alviverde and breathes its coach after the fall in the group stage of the Libertadores
An uncomfortable taboo that tormented Sao Paulo fans for almost six years fell on Saturday (10). That’s because São Paulo beat Palmeiras for the first time at Allianz Parque. Inaugurated in 2014, the stadium had never been the scene of a tri-color victory and it was with the questioned Fernando Diniz that this brand collapsed.

Without being able to count on goalkeeper Weverton, who is in the Brazilian team, and Matías Viña, at the service of the Uruguayan team, Palmeiras entered the field with a certain pessimism on the part of the fans. Alviverde has played games that are not very pleasant for his fans and at that moment Luxembourg sees the pressure growing.
Another who was very pressured was Fernando Diniz. The coach from São Paulo achieved his second consecutive victory in the competition and the first from São Paulo at Allianz Parque.
Since 2014, São Paulo has played 10 times at the home of Palmeiras and the retrospective was all from Verdão: eight victories from Palmeire, two draws and one from São Paulo, won this Saturday (10).
In 2018, Palmeiras broke an uncomfortable fast: they beat São Paulo in Morumbi after 16 years without winning. This time Tricolor gave the change and won in the Palestinian dominions.
Both in the statistics and in the observation of the game, the Tricolor dominated in the opponent’s house. Diniz’s team had 53% possession of the ball, finished 13 times against nine of the hosts, hit the goal more times (four against three) and prevailed within the four lines.
Fernando Diniz remained in São Paulo even after two shameful eliminations: for Mirassol, in the quarterfinals of Paulistão 2020; and in the group stage of the Libertadores de América.
The coach seems to have given in to the requests of the fans, who asked for the return of Bruno Alves and Luan. The two, who returned to the starting lineup, did the job and brought more balance and defensive security to the team. In the last two games, two wins without conceding a goal.
With the victory and the breaking of the historical taboo, Tricolor once again dreams of the fight for the title of the Brasileirão 2020, which has Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo with great force in this race that only ends in 2021.
