Goiás rediscovered victory after 11 rounds of fasting for Brasileirão and beat Palmeiras 1-0, with a great goal from outside the area of defensive midfielder Miguel in the second half, playing at home, in Serrinha. At the same time, he ended a nine-game undefeated streak against his opponent.
Palmeiras had reached Goiânia with 22 absences. And the team still spent more than 50 minutes on the field with one man less, after Mayke was sent off. In the end, with a disfigured team, full of improvisations, he was punished.
With the result, Palmeiras continues in fifth place, now with 34 points won in 22 games. Goiás, for its part, despite the victory, remains in the sights of the Brazilian Championship, with only 15 points added in 20 rounds.
Verdão’s next appointment will be on Wednesday (25), when the club travels to Ecuador to face Delfín in the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16. Esmeraldino is on the field on Thursday (26), against Fortaleza, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.
The worst: Mayke leaves Palmeiras in hand after hard tackle
Despite the absences, the game looked promising for Palmeiras until Mayke, minutes before the end of the first stage, gave Taylon a very strong entry, with soles. In a team full of athletes recently promoted to the professional squad, the untimely attitude that damaged the panorama of the match for Alviverde ended up being assumed by a 28-year-old footballer.
Patrick de Paula responds and gains confidence
In his third straight game under Abel Ferreira, the young midfielder appears to be returning to the level that made him one of Alviverde’s main highlights in the first half of the season. Today (21), in addition to his usual voluptuousness in recoveries and disarmament, the number 5 shirt also carries the message when it was improvised as an escape valve for Palmeiras’ counterattacks in the second half, totally improvised. Still, he missed a good chance to score late in the game, which could have changed the course of the game.
Luiz Adriano leaves the stretcher in the first part
Striker Luiz Adriano felt a muscle problem 22 minutes into the first half of the game against Goiás, today (21), at the Serrinha Stadium, and left the field of the stretcher. It should be remembered that shirt 10 had already failed Alviverde in two games, less than two weeks ago, also due to muscle wasting. The situation is even more worrying considering that Palmeiras will play the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16 on Wednesday (25) against Delfín, in Ecuador.
Goiás Operations
Not knowing what victory in 11 rounds has been, Esmeraldino took the field with a courageous stance, as he practically balanced possession with Palmeiras in the first stage. However, the team again fell victim to their creative inefficiency and brought little danger to Weverton’s goal.
In the second half, with the scenario of numerical superiority, Goiás remained practically all the time in the opposite field, but returned to threaten little, much because of the slowness with which he changed passes. However, close to the final whistle, midfielder Miguel was rewarded for risking from outside the box in the final minutes and gave Esmeraldino the victory.
Palmeiras performance
With dozens of absences, most of them due to the covid-19 outbreak that affected the club, Palmeiras bet on the boys from the base to go to the field against Goiás The momentum of new blood in Abel Ferreira’s team could be felt from the first seconds of the game, when Luiz Adriano almost opened the scoring. This position was compromised minutes later, first with the injury to the jersey 10, second with the expulsion of side Mayke.
In the second stage, the team remained safe and balanced even with one less player and, despite not being able to concede any counterattack to win the match, they achieved the result without major threats until the final seconds, when they suffered the hard blow. which ended a nine-game sequence without defeat.
