Aníbal booked, misses Palmeiras v Santos clash | OneFootball

This Sunday, during Palmeiras' 2-0 victory over Juventude, valid for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship, midfielder Aníbal Moreno received his third yellow card and became unavailable for Abel in the classic against Santos.

The incident occurred at the 35th minute of the second half, when Ênio, Juventude's forward, received the ball in the midfield during a counterattack. Attempting to tackle the opponent, the Argentine made a sliding tackle but hit his leg and was cautioned.

Besides Aníbal Moreno, Murilo, Andreas Pereira, and Facundo Torres were also at risk of suspension, but did not receive a yellow card and, consequently, are available for the technical team for the Clássico da Saudade. The teams will face each other next Thursday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque.

With the result in Caxias do Sul, Palmeiras reached 65 points, surpassed Flamengo, who beat Sport 3-0, and reclaimed the top of the table. The temporary difference between the teams is one point. On the other hand, after being defeated, Juventude remained with 26 points, in the 19th and penultimate position.
