Check out the player ratings for Palmeiras according to NOSSO PALESTRA

Weverton – 7.0

In a moment of doubt from the fans, he had little to do against a Vasco side that failed to create scoring chances. In the final minutes, he made a good save.

Giay – 6.5

The same grit and determination as always, but he still owes more offensively compared to Khellven. He had chances to get further forward but didn’t make the most of them.

Gustavo Gómez – 7.0

Commander. He didn’t let the opposing attackers breathe with the ball. Precise tackles and physical dominance.

Murilo – 6.5

Overused the long pass when playing out from the back, but didn’t compromise. Defensively, a calm performance.

Piquerez – 6.5

Except for the forwards, he’s been the most undisputed starter on the team for some time now. While he does well in attack, he makes some unnecessary mistakes in defense.

Aníbal Moreno – 7.0

Neutralized any attempt from the opposing midfield. Has firmly regained his spot.

Andreas Pereira – 7.0

For the first time playing a bit deeper as a number 8 in Evangelista’s place, he did well. Very clear-headed in distributing passes. In a more physical game, he might struggle a bit.

Raphael Veiga – 7.0

Back in the starting lineup, he played a key role in the opening goal. His pass was deflected and led to Flaco López’s goal. Still has a lot to offer.

Felipe Anderson – 6.5

The only one among the starting attackers whose pace was a bit below the others. Suffered a humiliating nutmeg and was substituted.

Vitor Roque – 8.0

In shock? Another goal for Vitor Roque! A handful for any defender and another ball in the net in the Brasileirão. And he could have scored more.

Flaco López – 9.0

It’s become routine. Two lightning goals that prove the stellar form the Argentine is in. The ball just finds him to score. Then, a masterful assist for Roque. The team’s star of the season.

Facundo Torres – 7.0

With Vasco’s defense wide open, he had plenty of space to play on the right and managed to contribute with some good plays.

Ramón Sosa – 6.5

Came on with the same approach as Facundo, but on the other side, and couldn’t reach the same level of involvement.

Bruno Rodrigues – 6.5

Came on with Mauricio to replace the Flaco-Roque duo. With the game already decided, there wasn’t much to do on the pitch.

Mauricio – 6.5

Was brought on practically as a forward and showed a lot of desire, but didn’t have time to contribute effectively.

Allan – N/A

Came on in the final stretch of the game and goes unrated.

Abel Ferreira – 7.5

With the best he had available, he got it right by pressing Vasco’s build-up and choosing to drop Andreas deeper, starting Raphael Veiga from the beginning. A convincing win to put the team back in the title race.
