After a spell out, Palmeiras midfielder makes the difference in Choque-Rei | OneFootball

This Sunday (5th), Palmeiras staged an exciting comeback in the classic match against São Paulo at Morumbi, during the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. After a poor start, conceding two goals in the first half, the Verdão managed to rally and won 3-2, with goals from Vitor Roque, Flaco López, and Ramón Sosa, keeping their title hopes alive in the competition.

São Paulo started the match better, taking advantage of spaces in Palmeiras' defense, and went 2-0 up before halftime. The lead seemed solid, but the Palmeiras team did not let it get them down. The comeback began in the second half with the decisive entry of Maurício, who had been without a streak but immediately showed quality by providing two crucial assists.

Palmeiras' first goal came from Vitor Roque, taking advantage of a pass from Maurício. Shortly after, Flaco López also received an assist from the midfielder and reduced the tricolor's lead, reigniting the team's hopes. The equalizer and the comeback were completed by Ramón Sosa, who finished a precise play and scored the third goal, sealing the historic victory.

With the result, Verdão keeps their fight for the Brasileirão title alive, while São Paulo feels the weight of losing points at home against a direct rival.

And now?

Palmeiras returns to the field for the Brasileirão on the 15th, when Verdão faces Juventude in a rescheduled match at Allianz Parque. For the match, Brazil's Greatest Champion will be without Vitor Roque (suspended) and those called up for their national teams during the FIFA Date.
