Throughout the campaign, the Crias da Academia found the net 107 times and conceded only six goals, showing a balance between attacking power and defensive solidity.

In the second stage, the performance was even more impressive: six wins in six matches, securing a 100% record in the four-team group.

João Vassoler looks ahead to the clash

One of the key names in Palmeiras’ defense, centre-back João Vassoler highlighted the work done by the squad throughout the competition and called for focus at the start of the knockout stage.

We’re doing very well in the championship, which is the result of our day-to-day work. The whole group deserves congratulations, but we know there is still a long way to go. We are already preparing for the match against Monte Azul, and we’ll go onto the pitch very focused to try to build an advantage in the first game.

The tie against Monte Azul will be played over two matches. The first takes place this Saturday (3), at 9am (Brasília time), in Monte Azul. The second leg is scheduled for October 10, at the Academia de Futebol.
