In the Allianz Parque, Palmeiras defeated Sport 3-0 on Monday (25), in the 21st round of the Brasileirão.
COMEÇANDO A SEMANA COM MAIS TRÊS PONTOS EM FAMÍLIA! 🤝➕3️⃣ 🏆 Palmeiras 3x0 Sport ⚽ López (2) e Gómez–
The match marked the debut of Palmeiras' new uniform, which pays homage to the 60th anniversary of the inauguration of the Mineirão, when they represented the Brazilian national team in a 3-0 friendly win against Uruguay.
And, curiously, the Argentine Flaco López and the Paraguayan Gustavo Gómez were the top scorers on the night when "Palmeiras played as Brazil".
With the ball rolling, the technical difference - reflected in the teams' position in the standings - became evident.
Palmeiras had no difficulty in building the victory, which could have been even greater, especially given the chances missed in the first half.
In fact, the goal that opened the scoring came before the 15-minute mark, when Vitor Roque gave a beautiful assist with a through ball, and Flaco López scored with a first-time shot.
In the final stage, two "lightning-fast" goals gave the tranquility expected by the alviverde fans.
At 11 minutes, Flaco López took advantage of the cross from the right and won the high ball to head and extend the lead.
The Sport goalkeeper even made the save, but the ball had already crossed the line.
In the following minute, after a rehearsed play on the corner kick, Maurício crossed, and captain Gustavo Gómez appeared at the far post to score Palmeiras' third goal.
With the win, Palmeiras reached 42 points and returned to second place in the Brasileirão, behind only Flamengo (43 points), who still play in the round, but have one more game.
Sport, on the other hand, remains in last place with 10 points. The Lion returns to the field next Sunday (31), when they host Vasco, at Ilha do Retiro, in the 22nd round.
Verdão, on the other hand, will face Corinthians in the Paulista Derby, at Neo Química Arena, on the same day.
