📹 Vitor Roque shines, Palmeiras go clear as Santos sink in drop zone | OneFootball

At Allianz Parque, Palmeiras defeated Santos 2-0 on Thursday (6th), closing the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. 

The Verdão started the "Clássico da Saudade" with the determination of a team needing the win.

As a result, goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão worked hard to keep the score at zero in the first half.

Bruno Fuchs had a great chance in the small area, while Willian Arão hit the net, but the play was disallowed for offside.

In the second half, Palmeiras returned with even more "hunger," and the Peixe's goalkeeper had to perform some "miracles."

However, at 21 minutes, Flaco López won the aerial duel and assisted Vitor Roque, who dribbled Gabriel Brazão to open the scoring.

Before the final 10 minutes, Raphael Veiga set up Vitor Roque on the left wing, and the Tigrinho sped into the area to score with a chip.

With the comfortable lead, the Palmeiras fans taunted the rival with the chant: "Arerê, Santos will play in Série B."

Santos had another goal disallowed, this time for Thaciano's offside at the start of the play.

And Allan - Palmeiras' new gem - hit the post with a powerful shot from outside the area.
