After four consecutive defeats at Brasileirão, Palmeiras recovered and threw Argentina’s Tigre 5-0 at Allianz Parque in the last match of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. Raphael Veiga, Gustavo Gómez, Zé Rafael, Gabriel Veron and Rony shook the net in today’s victory (21), which guaranteed Verdão qualification in the round of 16 with the best campaign of the tournament.
Palmeiras scored 16 points in six games, with five wins and one draw. The performance is the same as that of Santos, but the team now under the interim command of Andrey Lopes takes advantage of the goal difference: 15 in favor, against 5 in favor of Peixe. With that, the team decides at home its remaining playoff games until the semi-finals. Tigre, who arrived in Brazil quite absent, ends the competition with a single point, in the crosshairs of Group B.
The result gives Verdão a bit more peace of mind, who yesterday (20) closed negotiations with Miguel Ángel Ramírez, a Spaniard who trains Independiente Del Valle. The club is still looking for a replacement for Vanderlei Luxembourg and works especially with two names: Quique Setién, a former Barça player, and Argentine Gabriel Heinze.
Wesley stands out again
One of the great discussions of the Palmeirense season is why Wesley does not remain as a starter, not even playing well. After losing their place to Fortaleza, the 21 shirt returned to the team and had a decisive participation in the first goal, by Raphael Veiga, and with the assistance of Zé Rafael, in the third. He further isolated himself as the biggest waiter in Verdão of the season, with seven passes for his teammates to score.
Old problems
Even against the worst team in the group, embezzled by injuries and players with Covid-19, Palmeiras started the game with great difficulty. Faced with the Argentine’s early scoring, Verdão suffered when he put the ball down and made mistakes that almost created danger. Interim Andrey Lopes’ team only managed to annoy Tigre using long balls. This was how the first goal was played.
Penalty from the fourth goalkeeper of Tigre
The Argentines traveled to Brazil without three goalkeepers from their squad: starter Marinelli and reserve Wolff recover after contracting coronavirus, while Navarro is injured. The goalkeepers for the match were the boys Zenobio, 20, and Gerth, 16. Zenobio even got involved in a simple defense in the first half, but he had his height in the final stage, when he saved Luiz Adriano’s penalty. . The bad luck is that in the corner just after Gustavo Gómez made the 2 to 0, with a head.
Veron and Ron complete the party
After the difficulty of the initial stage, Palmeiras controlled the game in the second half and was very effective, with four goals in six correct presentations. Gabriel Verón, who came to live with criticism recently and even moved away from social networks, has just finished Ron’s play with the open goal to put the 4 to 0. The criticized shirt 11, shortly after, closed the score: 5-0 clearer weather at Allianz Parque.
