Palmeiras canceled and beat Atlético-MG 3-0 this afternoon (2) at the Allianz Parque. In a good performance in the farewell of Andrey Lopes as interim coach -the Portuguese Abel Ferreira will take over in the sequence-, the São Paulo team scored with Raphael Veiga, Rony and Wesley in the match valid for the 19th round of the Brasileirão 2020.
With the result, Verdão remains in seventh place, but has 28 points. El Gallo loses the opportunity to achieve leadership and is in third place, with 32, three less than the International leader.
Who got it right: Andrey Lopes
The style adopted by Andrey Lopes, Cebola, was decisive in Palmeiras’ victory over Atlético-MG. In the first half, his team put pressure on, prevented the rival from creating chances, and even shook the net. In the background of the break, he pushed the team back, opting for counterattacks, which were critical to the prolonged victory at Allianz Parque. Clever, he managed to neutralize the opponent’s forces and calmly assured the positive result.
Who was wrong: Marrony and Nathan
The young forward couldn’t show much service even because of the poor performance of Galo’s socks. The strong Palmeirense brand impeded the offensive advances of Atlético-MG, and Marrony had a very weak performance. Nathan, too, one of the important pieces to lead the white team to the attack, owed a lot.
Raphael Veiga has a good run with Palmeiras
Raphael Veiga started a good run of matches for Palmeiras, especially after the departure of Vanderlei Luxembourg. With interim Andrey Lopes, Cebola, participated in all five matches and scored three goals. One of the goals was scored this afternoon (2), against Atlético-MG, at Allianz Parque. The midfielder is experiencing a great moment for the team. He scored Argentina’s Tigre for Libertadores and Red Bull Bragantino for the Copa do Brasil.
Palmeiras performance
At the request of Andrey Lopes, Palmeiras scored with a very high line at Allianz Parque, especially in the first half of the match. The three attackers -Rony, Luiz Adriano and Wesley- and midfielder Raphael Veiga got the ball out of Atlético-MG, preventing Sampaoli’s team from having space to create opportunities. The players took turns positioning and were happy with the position taken. This even allowed the team to get counterattacks in the first 45 minutes. After pressure on the rival ball, the home team opened the scoring with Raphael Veiga. At the end of the break, Palmeiras lowered the lines and began to act in the counterattacks. One of those moves was enough for the team to spread the score with Ron.
Atlético-MG performance
In both halves, Atlético-MG had more possession of the ball, but Palmeiras’ strong marking took a lot of space from Galo, who could not show that offensive impulse from the past, precisely because of the Palmeiras position on the pitch. Already with a 1-0 disadvantage, scoring in the first half, Atlético-MG even returned better for the second stage, with more intensity and also continuing with greater possession of the ball. But the fact of having launched the attack opened spaces for a very well placed team on the field. And so, Palmeiras has imposed, so far, the worst defeat since Sampaoli took over the Minas team: 3 to 0. There were two more goals in the second half, Rony and Wesley, who closed Galo’s account, in one more result to be mourned by Sampaoli.
Game timeline
Raphael Veiga opened the scoring for the match at Allianz Parque, in the 19th minute of the first half. After a good team move, Zé Rafael found Viña on the left. The winger crossed, and Veiga appeared only to swing Everson’s net in the duel.
At 24 minutes into the last stage, Luiz Adriano went on the counterattack in the defense field, passed Réver and Júnior Alonso’s back, invaded the area and rolled towards Ron to cover Everson’s net. In another counterattack, Palmeiras widened the score. Zé Rafael came out from behind the defense, invaded the area and rolled for Wesley to make his mark after 31 minutes of extra time.
