It was tough, but Grêmio avoided another defeat in the Brazilian Championship, in the final minutes of the match against Palmeiras, for the eleventh day. This afternoon (20), at the Arena, in Porto Alegre, Tricolor saw Raphael Veiga open the scoring with a beautiful goal and the situation was delicate. In the final stage additions, however, Ferreira drew 1-1.
With the result, Alviverde loses the opportunity to stay with the Atlético-MG and Internacional leaders (21 and 20 points, respectively), and adds 18 points in fourth place. Tricolor, which could see the pressure on Renato Gaúcho decrease in the event of victory, became the team that tied the most against Brasileirão (seven times). The team is ranked 11, with 13 points.
The teams are now preparing for the Libertadores. While the gaúcho tricolor faces its International rival in Beira-Rio, Palmeiras visit Guaraní (PAR). Both matches take place on Wednesday (23), at 9:30 p.m.
Veiga stands out with a nice goal
The truncated match between Palmeiras and Grêmio had few highlights. Even so, Raphael Veiga, who completed a cross with a beautiful shot on goal, finished as the main name in Porto Alegre after opening the scoring with category.
Boy turns bad after being summoned by Tite
Gabriel Menino took the field for the first time after being called up for Tite’s Brazilian team. But the performance of the Palmeiras midfielder this Sunday was bad. The young man, who had perhaps the best chance of the São Paulo team in the first half, in a blocked shot from inside the area, received the yellow early, hung up and narrowly missed the red. As a result, he came out at halftime for Bruno Henrique to enter.
Even so, the boy was chosen by Globo as the best in the game: the poll has a popular vote and commentators from the broadcast. He celebrated the moment lived. “Very happy for everything that happens in my life. Not very happy for the result, but thanks to the fans. We are looking for more victories, now there are Libertadores,” he told Globo.
Diogo Barbosa’s premiere has “weather” and laughter
Diogo Barbosa made his debut for Grêmio against the former team. And those who think that the reunion was friendly are wrong. After going to the defense, queuing and simulating a foul in the clash with Felipe Melo, Diogo Barbosa was charged by the captain of the city. The “let it go” crowd chimed in and the ex-teammates, a bit calmer, ended up laughing at the confusion on the play.
Grêmio has the ball, but is not in danger
Performing at home, Renato Gaúcho’s team won. Climbing with the trio of defensive midfielders Lucas Silva, Darlan and Matheus Henrique, the Tricolor populated the midfield, controlled possession of the ball, but collided many times in the Palmeirean defense, today reinforced with the return of Felipe Melo. After scoring the goal, the lack of confidence became the rival of the rivals, who started the tie at a corner kick at the end of the game.
Palmeiras fights back and works when it changes
As is customary for Vanderlei Luxemburg’s team, Palmeiras waited for Grêmio on the defense field to start the counterattack. With a solid baseline, the problem arose even when attacking. Only Ron and Willian, who were leading at 4-4-2, brought out the speed actions. The first of the pair, alone, did not have the same power shown in the Bolivian altitude last week. For this reason, jersey number 29, which is not a fast player, participated little.
Realizing the problem in the formation and that the team centralized the game a lot, Luxa moved, opened the team with two points (Veron and Wesley) in a 4-3-3 and saw the team improve. It was even on the side that the team built Veiga’s goal.
Game timeline
Palmeiras opened the scoring in the 26th minute of the second stage. Viña advanced on the left, crossed the ball and saw Raphael Veiga finish with strength and category, without dropping the ball. The bomb blew up Vanderlei’s nets. In added time, at 46, Ferreira completed a corner and left everything the same.
