Abel Ferreira piles pressure on ex-Benfica man at Palmeiras – Santos | OneFootball

Palmeiras – Santos ended with a 2-0 victory for Abel Ferreira’s team over the side featuring Benjamín Rollheiser. The former Benfica player started on the bench and was only brought on in the 81st minute, at a time when the match was practically decided.

After a goalless first half, Vítor Roque decided to settle the match in favor of Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras. In the 67th and 80th minutes, the former Barcelona player scored twice and secured all three points for Abel Ferreira’s team. After the Portuguese international’s brace, Benjamín Rollheiser replaced Álvaro Barreal.

With this defeat, Santos – where Neymar once shone – and Benjamín Rollheiser deepen the crisis they are in. In their last four matches, the historic Brazilian club lost two (Palmeiras and Vitória) and drew the other two (Botafogo and Fortaleza), currently sitting in 17th place in the Brasileirão.

Benjamín Rollheiser joined Benfica in January 2024, coming from Estudiantes, for a fee of 9.5 million euros. However, after a year in which he failed to establish himself (27 matches, two goals, and one assist), the winger moved to Santos, with the Eagles earning 11 million euros from the transfer.

For Santos, Benjamín Rollheiser – valued at 8 million euros – has played 33 matches. In the 2,254 minutes he was an option for Juan Pablo Vojvoda, the former Benfica player scored two goals (Corinthians and CRB) and provided two assists (Fortaleza and São Paulo).
