How Vasco vs. Palmeiras Was 👇

Felipe rested Phillipe Coutinho and Vegetti. Abel Ferreira used full strength. The first half was marked by balance.

In the best chance, at 48, Weverton made a poor exit. João Victor attempted a lob, but Giay saved with a bicycle kick.

Palmeiras increased the intensity in the second half and scored the goal at 15 minutes, ending an uncomfortable drought.

Hugo Moura made a mistake in the exit. Estêvão crossed low, and Roque finished into the net. It was his first goal in 13 matches for Verdão.

Vasco went on the attack, and the game became END TO END. Vitor Roque complained about a penalty not given, but the score remained unchanged.

The match at Mané Garrincha had 30,000 fans - Vasco sold the home advantage (by choice) for about R$ 2 million.
