Palmeiras won River Plate 2-1 at Monumental de Nuñez and opened a good advantage for the return match at Allianz Parque. Abel’s team plays for a draw at home. Remember that Palmeiras has the best campaign of Libertadores so far. There are only heroes on the Brazilian team in Buenos Aires. From Flaco López to Gustavo Gómez, author of one of the goals, passing by Aníbal Moreno until arriving in Andreas Pereira and Vitor Roque, author of another goal.
Palmeiras opened 2-0 against 80 thousand incredulous Argentines. At some point in the match, when Palmeiras walked the monumental, you could hear the voices of the brave Palmeirense fans in the stands. Victory has threatened River Plate’s sequence of unbeaten record since the team returned from the FIFA Club World Cup. There were twelve matches without losing.
The victory was the number 200 of coach Abel Ferreira in charge of the club. An achievement that deserves to be highlighted. Palmeiras swallowed River Plate with its most closed scheme in midfield, as The Football He reported that it would be, with more markers (Andreas, Evangelist and Aníbal) and a retreated flake, leaving the tractor Vitor Roque ahead. By the way, as the Palmeiras striker picked up.
First time was a tour
The first half was from Palmeiras with leftovers, merits and claw. The team won in the movement, field distribution, marking and speed output for the attack. Not intimidated. River had a crowd, but it didn’t have a team. Palmeiras was focused, firm, no doubt what they needed to do. Gómez’s goal was like many other goals from Gómez: head. Just like Tigrinho’s goal was as he likes: advancing and playing the goalkeeper’s exit. Ah… Armani! I thought he failed in the first goal of Palmeiras. He thought the ball went out, shortened his arm and was surprised.
