Playing at the pace of the kids, Palmeiras had a lot of game volume and made it 1-0 with Zé Rafael, with a header, at the end of the first half. In extra time, however, captain Rincón equalized for Peixe, also in an aerial play. Great classic in Barueri, with a lot of movement and good chances of goals for both sides. Verdão had almost 70% of the ball possession and finished 15 times, but Santos was more efficient the few times it arrived.
Santos came back better and more organized in the second half, and Palmeiras started to create less and suffer more from counterattacks. Peixe returned from a more compact dressing room and marked Alviverde’s left side better. Kevin was no longer as much work, and Endrick no longer moved as much as in the initial stage. In his best chance in the final stage, João Paulo got the better of it once again.
Santos remained superior and reached the turnaround with Marcos Leonardo, who had a great performance. Palmeiras tried to respond with Abel Ferreira’s moves, but their performance dropped too much compared to the first half. In the end, Peixe still had the chance to score the third, but Weverton made at least three great saves. In the 44th minute, Gustavo Gomez scored, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Even Weverton went on the attack in stoppage time, but the pressure from Palmeiras was just that.
Important goals and plays
Palmeiras almost opens the scoring. Verdão narrowly missed scoring in the 3rd minute of the game. After a good plot on the right, Mayke crossed low and Kevin caught it firmly at first, but the ball hit Rony, in the small area.
Santos arrives with danger. Santos got scared for the first time in the 10th minute. In good triangulation at speed, Marcos Leonardo arranged for Kevyson to shoot past Weverton’s defense.
