Palmeiras defeated Água Santa 1-0, this Sunday morning, in Diadema (SP), for the Paulista Championship, with a header from Rony at the start of the second phase. Thanks to the striker, who scored once again, but disallowed due to lack of Breno Lopes at the origin of the offer, Verdão remain unbeaten in the competition and have their best season with leftovers. For him, all thanks to the team’s commitment on the pitch.
“I play at 11, it’s hot. But we imposed (sic) our pace of play, we entered strong from the start. Everyone saw it. The most important thing, I think, is the team’s commitment. Some players are We were changed, but even so we did our best. I think the most important thing in all of this is the three points. The intention coming here was to get the three points. It was a very truncated game, a very heavy,” but I think that’s part of football. We imposed (sic) our pace of play and came out with a great result, “he said, still on the lawn, in an interview with the Premiere channel.
His header led to a VAR control stoppage of around five minutes. Raphael Veiga took a free-kick down the right and Rony anticipated the defense at the near post to head in Ygor Vinhas’ left corner. The Água Santa goalkeeper tried again to defend, but the ball had already crossed the line.
“With the header I already saw that the ball had gone in. Like in the last match (actually the penultimate, against Santos) the ball hadn’t gone in and it was left to me and I scored the goal, this time I celebrated knowing since it was a goal. Happy to have helped the team with the goal and the most important thing, as I said, are the three points. Congratulations to everyone for the delivery, determination and concentration as we went into the game.” said the attacker.
Rony also spoke about the confusion caused between Endrick and Água Santa defender Rodrigo Sam midway through the second half. In a wide tackle, the defender pushed the striker, who collided with advertising signs in front of the Palmeiras bench. Immediately the alviverde players were all over Sam. In the end the balance was two yellow cards (for the defender and for Murilo, from Verdão, who didn’t even enter the game) and the expulsion of Thiago Carpini, coach of Diadema.
HAPPY THREE POINTS! 🙏🐷
We won Água Santa and remain AMAZING in the @paulistao! 😎

“There were two teams who wanted to win. I think what happened there is part of the game, a moment of excitement. We know football is like that. When the winning spirit comes, everyone wants to win, everyone wants to compete. I think this is the competitiveness of each team. After the match is over, everything is calm and the most important thing is to compete and win the match,” he concluded.
