Palmeiras recovered from the defeat against Novorizontino and won against São Paulo in the classic match this Saturday at Arena Barueri, for the Campeonato Paulista. The main star of the Choque-Rei was the forward Flaco López, who scored a goal and provided an assist.
Besides the Argentine, midfielder Mauricio and right-back Khellven also found the net and shone. Another highlight was the duo of midfielders Marlon Freitas and Andreas Pereira, along with forward Sosa, who delivered a beautiful assist for Flaco's goal.
Attacking midfielder Allan had some flashes but played a discreet game. Defenders Gustavo Gómez and Bruno Fuchs were disappointing, especially in aerial balls, but improved in the second half.
