Palmeiras solid at the back, eye best run without conceding | OneFootball

The Palmeiras showed defensive strength again in 2025 and managed to go two consecutive games without conceding goals, something that hadn't happened since the FIFA Club World Cup against Porto and Al Ahly. This achievement breaks a period of instability in the defensive system, marked by physical problems of key players, such as Bruno Fuchs and Murilo, who spent a good part of the season in the medical department.

Absences were detrimental

In recent months, Abel Ferreira had to deal with constant changes in the sector. The absence of the starting defenders forced the coach to resort to changes in position and greater use of Micael, who has not yet established himself at the club. Now, with the recovery of important players and better teamwork, Verdão shows signs of reconnecting with its traditional defensive solidity.

The squad's goal is clear: to turn the two games without being scored against into an even longer streak. If they maintain a firm posture and defensive organization, Palmeiras can achieve and repeat the longest streak without conceding goals this season, which was in May, in five consecutive matches.

Beyond the confidence that defensive performance brings, stability in the sector also enhances the team's style of play. With a secure rearguard, Verdão has more freedom to impose intensity in the attack, a characteristic that was decisive in recent major victories.

With a full schedule and important matches ahead, Palmeiras aims to focus on these two games to give the famous 'boost of morale' to the squad and recover something that was very important in the Abel Ferreira Era.
