After six games, Palmeiras can finally say they have gone a game without conceding a single goal. Last Wednesday (3), Verdão went to Guayaquil to face Barcelona and won by 2 to 0 — Raphael Veiga and Gustavo Gómez scored the goals of the duel.
After Piquerez’s own goal in last Saturday’s derby, Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras found themselves facing – for the third time – a sequence of losses suffered in six consecutive games. If he concedes against Barcelona, for the Libertadores, it would be the first time that the negative vote would reach seven games – an unprecedented possibility, therefore.
However, the Portuguese coach’s side played a solid defensive game in Ecuador despite some concerns, mentioned by Abel, in the second half.
“He was bringing the goal to zero, right? It arrived, huh? Goal to zero, three important points and a difficult game. Libertadores. It was worth the effort and the sacrifice. (Now it’s up to) rest and go home,” he celebrated Weverton goalkeeper , after the clash.
The Palestinian team was leaked by Corinthians (won by 2 to 1), Tombense (draw by 1 to 1), Vasco (draw by 2 to 2), Cerro Porteño (won by 2 to 1), Cuiabá (won by 2 to 1) ) and again Tombense (won by 4 to 2).
The last match without leaking took place on April 9, against Água Santa. Allianz Parque’s match, which finished 4-0 against Verdão, was valid for the second final of the Campeonato Paulista and gave the club its 25th title in the regional competition.
