Despite showing more attacking intent in the second half, the football was below par and the Palestrino side racked up missed chances after the break. Castanheira admitted the mistakes and said improvement comes through training. He also thanked the fans for their support until the final minute.

⁠- We need to fix it, there’s no other way but through training. There are days when we’ll be more clinical. We created enough to win the game, but we didn’t score, and when we did, it didn’t count. – We have to praise the crowd, who were important in helping the team keep believing. It’s normal for them to react when things aren’t going well.

What now?

With the result, Palmeiras remain at the top of the Brazilian Championship, now with 33 points. Verdão are seven points ahead of Flamengo and cannot be overtaken this round.
