São Paulo and Palmeiras drew 1-1, tonight (19), in Morumbi, in a match with many complaints against VAR from visitors. Luciano, on a penalty, scored the first goal of the match – valid for round 34 of the national competition – at 28 of the second half, and Ron tied the score in extra time, with the help of Luan who cut poorly, diverted towards his own goal left Volpi sold in motion. With the result, Tricolor paulista says goodbye to the fight for the title of the Brazilian Championship 2020.
The main one reaches 63 points and occupies the third position of the tournament, but has no more mathematical chances of a title, since there is a direct confrontation between Internacional and Flamengo next Sunday (21), in Maracanã. Verdão ranks sixth, with 57.
Who did it well: Luciano
The classic was not the best. Poor performance on the field made it difficult to choose a highlight. However, Luciano, who scored the goal for São Paulo, deserves an honorable mention. The forward scored his fifth goal in six games and was once again important for Morumbi’s team. He left his mark in a prison tonight. The athlete had already scored against Inter, Coritiba, Ceará and Grêmio. The player’s only goalless duel was against Athletico-PR.
Who was wrong: Pablo
Chosen for the vacancy of Gonzalo Carneiro, who left the field injured, the forward contributed little to the team. Isolated in the offensive sector, he barely touched the ball and had difficulty participating in creative plays. The center forward did not take a shot against the goal defended by Weverton. In some speed plays, Pablo put himself in an offside position and ended up hindering the main in the commitment.
Gonzalo Carneiro is injured and leaves the field before 10 minutes
Marcos Vizolli, São Paulo’s interim coach, doubted who would be the starting striker in today’s game: Gonzalo Carneiro and Pablo were the candidates for the vacancy. The coach opted for the Uruguayan, who stood out in the victory over Grêmio on the last day. The athlete, however, was injured after separating from Luan from above in the third minute of the first half. The player tried to stay on the pitch, but pain prevented him from continuing. He was replaced by Pablo on that occasion.
The performance of São Paulo
The creation of movements was the greatest difficulty of São Paulo in the game that was developed in Morumbi. The quartet of midfielders – Luan, Daniel Alves, Igor Gomes and Tchê Tchê – stopped at the Palmeiras mark and failed to create dangerous moves in the match. With the good positioning of the opponent, the main tried to reach the offensive sector by direct connection. Tiago Volpi was constantly used on the plays. With the entry of Jonas Toró in the vacancy of Igor Gomes, the team began to create more, but it was not enough to dominate the game. The team scored the goal, even after Jonas Toró’s penalty.
Palmeiras performance
After two games with the majority of the team made up of reserves, Abel Ferreira climbed the closest to the starting eleven in Choque-Rei, a week before the final of the Copa do Brasil. Although there were some moments that looked promising offensively, Verdão sinned too much because of passing errors. In addition to the play in which he requested a penalty from Luiz Adriano in the first half, Palmeiras had few plays in which he made Tiago Volpi work. After São Paulo’s goal, he even tied on a deflected shot from Ron, a fairer result for what happened in Choque-Rei.
Game timeline
Leandro Pedro Vuaden (RS) was called to see on the VAR monitor an offer involving Mayke and Jonas Toró and scored a penalty for São Paulo in the offer, 26 minutes into the second half, with a touch from the right wing from Palmeiras. Luciano loaded in 28 minutes and put the Weverton net in the collection. Ron, in the 48th minute of the second half, tied the score at Morumbi.
Palmeiras complains about the VAR in the first half
A play that involved Bruno Alves and Luiz Adriano upset the Palmeiras team. The center forward was knocked down by the defender in a split after Viña’s low cross and requested a penalty, but referee Leandro Pedro Vuaden (RS) did not report a violation on the play. The head of the VAR, Daniel Nobre Lins (RS) did not notify the judge either. The owner of the Palmeiras 10 jersey spoke about the tender at the end of the first stage: “What am I going to say if the judge did not give me the VAR? I cannot say. Penalty or dangerous foul.”
Palmeiras’ target of complaint, VAR detects penalty for São Paulo
Video arbitration, the target of a complaint from Palmeiras, especially from coach Abel Ferreira, was the protagonist of another match in the match. Following Jonas Toró’s play on the left side of the attack, Mayke attempted the cut and ended up using his right hand. Leandro Vuaden was called by Daniel Nobre Lins to verify the offer on the monitor. After seeing the play, the Rio Grande do Sul referee sanctioned the director. Luciano converted the load.
