With Gustavo Gómez as captain and scorer, Palmeiras beat Athletico Paranaense 3-1 on Tuesday and took another huge step towards the Brasileirao title where they placed 13 points behind Internacional and Flamengo, but with one game more than the team from Porto Alegre, in the absence of 4 dates for the end of the championship.

The great pearl of Palmeiras, the young striker Endrick, scored his first goal as a professional. He entered in the second half and signed the partial 2-1 in a duel that Verdao started losing.

The team led by the Portuguese Abel Ferreira can win its eleventh league star this Wednesday, since Internacional (partially third, with 61 points) and Corinthians (fourth, with 57 and one game less) did not beat Ceará and Fluminense, respectively, on that day. .

The Palmeirenses, champions of the 2020 and 2021 Libertadores Cups, have 74 units, so a draw or a defeat by the Colorados or Albinegros would make them unattainable with four games to go.
