Palmeiras endures pressure, beats RB Bragantino and approaches the G-4



[ad_1]

Palmeiras kept up the pressure and beat Red Bull Bragantino 1-0 today (27) at Allianz Parque, and is closer to the G-4 of the Brazilian Championship. Luiz Adriano scored the only goal of round 27 of the tournament at Allianz Parque. Verdão finished six times against 21 of the visiting team.

With the result, Verdão reaches 44 points and is three for Inter, last in the qualifying zone for the Libertadores group stage. Red Bull Bragantino is 13th, with 31 points won, three more than Vasco, first in the relegation zone.

Who got it right: Weverton

Goalkeeper Weverton was called upon at some points in the game, especially in the second half, and made important saves to prevent the home team from conceding many goals. He stopped the presentations of players like Artur and Ytalo in the match played at the Allianz Parque and was the highlight of the match valid for the 27th round of Brasileirão.

Who was wrong: Alerrandro

Designated as a starter, the forward fought to bring danger to the Palmeiras goal. The young man failed in submissions, creation of plays and was even substituted in the intermission of the game that took place at Allianz Parque. He left the field for the entrance of Ytalo already in the interval of the commitment.

Luiz Adriano returns to the starting eleven and rocks the net

Luiz Adriano returned to play for Palmeiras as a starter after more than a month. The player had not started since last November 21, when Verdão was defeated by Goiás, in a match on the 22nd match of the Brasileirão. In his first appearance among the 11 favorites of the coaching staff, the forward made his mark after crossing paths with Gabriel Menino.

Palmeiras performance

Palmeiras found it difficult to impose his game in tonight’s match. The team led by Abel Ferreira found themselves cornered in the defense field and had to bet on counterattacks to reach the rival goal. In the first half, the home team finished only once in the engagement against Cleiton’s goal. The play was precisely the one that culminated with Luiz Adriano’s celebration in the first half. On the way back from halftime, Verdão remained closed in the defense field watching the visitor create the best opportunities and tried again to create through speed. The options of the technical committee -Raphael Veiga, Willian and Gustavo Scarpa- did not yield what was expected.

Red Bull Bragantino performance

With more ball possession and volume of play, the team that needed to be led by Maldonado tonight created the best chances to score. Ytalo, Claudinho and Artur had good opportunities to fill the Weverton net. However, the group did not give up and saw the home team launch into the net with Luiz Adriano.

Game timeline

Luiz Adriano scored the first goal of the match in the 28th minute of the first half. The forward took advantage of a Gabriel Menino cross to launch the opposite goal before the break.
