Abel Ferreira downplays Grêmio after 3-0 loss: "Our mistakes" | OneFootball

Did Palmeiras distance themselves even further from Flamengo after the defeat to Grêmio?

Palmeiras lost to Grêmio 3-2 this Tuesday (25), in the Brazilian Championship. Abel Ferreira, however, downplayed the positive aspects of the team from Rio Grande do Sul and highlighted that Mano Menezes' team took advantage of the São Paulo club's mistakes.

— We cannot commit such a penalty, we cannot miss a goal right in front of the net, like Facundo did. At this level, you pay dearly for these mistakes. In the end, the opponent created more from our mistakes than from their own play -, he said.

What is the situation of the Brazilian Championship after Tuesday's (25) matches?

Flamengo not only maintained their lead in the Brazilian Championship but also extended their advantage over Palmeiras. Now, the Rubro-Negro has 75 points, while the São Paulo team has 70.
