📹 Vitor Roque shines, Palmeiras pull away, Santos sink in Z4

At Allianz Parque, Palmeiras defeated Santos 2-0 this Thursday (6), wrapping up the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. 

Verdão started the “Clássico da Saudade” with the determination of a team that needed the win.

As a result, goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão had to work hard to keep the score at zero in the first half.

Bruno Fuchs had a great chance in the six-yard box, while Willian Arão found the back of the net for Palmeiras, but the play was ruled offside.

In the second half, Palmeiras came back even hungrier, and the Peixe goalkeeper had to perform some “miracles”.

However, at the 21st minute, Flaco López won an aerial duel and assisted Vitor Roque, who dribbled past Gabriel Brazão to open the scoring.

Before the last 10 minutes, Raphael Veiga found Vitor Roque on the left wing, and the “Tigrinho” sped into the box to chip the keeper and extend the lead.

With the comfortable lead, the Palmeiras fans taunted their rivals with the chant: “Arerê, Santos is going to play in Serie B”.

Santos had another goal disallowed, this time for offside by Thaciano at the start of the play.

And Allan – Palmeiras’ new gem – hit the post with a rocket from outside the box.
