Decisive figure turns the night for Palmeiras | OneFootball

Vitor Roque struck in the 52nd minute to restore Palmeiras' lead in a 3-1 win at Internacional.

He signalled intent early with a rising effort from distance in the fourth minute. After the restart he drew a save from a narrow angle (48.), keeping Verdão on the front foot.

He then finished low into the bottom right from the centre of the box (52.), a composed touch that shifted control away from Inter and steadied Palestra for the closing spell.

He wrapped up an all-round display with three attempts, two on target, plus two tackles won and seven possessions regained, blending penalty-area movement with industrious pressing.

With Verdão seeing just 37.5% of the ball, his direct runs and recoveries repeatedly stretched Inter and gave Palestra an outlet in transition.

Verdão sit top after three matches and host Fluminense next. Colorado visit Remo next.
