Left-back Arthur was a standout player. Once again starting in place of Piquerez, the Academy graduate had a good game. Defensively, he made solid tackles and, when supporting the attack, he got forward well and posed a threat with crosses into the box.

Allan was credited with Palmeiras' first goal after the ball deflected off him before hitting Raul's net. Wearing number 40, he had a good offensive game and was very active in attack, also providing width on the right. He had dangerous shots and forced the goalkeeper to make a save in the first half.

Andreas Pereira provided the "assist" for Allan's goal. Wearing number 8, he played a very dynamic game, both defensively and offensively. He made important tackles and was present near the box and on set pieces. He was the one who took the shot from the edge of the area that deflected off Allan and opened the scoring for Verdão.

Center-back Murilo, recovered from a sprained left knee, returned to the starting lineup after two games and put in a great performance. Responsible for key tackles, he made seven decisive contributions in defense.
