Palmeiras' stunning Choque-Rei win stands unforgettable | OneFootball

You already knew: regardless of how it happened, a victory for Palmeiras at Morumbi would be discussed in various ways, except through football. If there was a refereeing error, it's not Abel and his team's problem, who scored 3 goals in twenty minutes and secured significant points.

The first half? Disaster. São Paulo came in more focused, found spaces, marked with great intensity, and forced a physical game, the same approach chosen by River Plate – but no team can sustain this model for long, and the Argentinians proved that.

In the second half, Abel and his staff made very different and bold changes, playing without a right-back and with a faster, more proactive midfield capable of speeding up the passing game. Within 15 seconds, Maurício almost scored the first, and the pressure continued.

When Vitor Roque opened the scoring with a beautiful play, involving first touches and covering 50 meters with very few passes, São Paulo felt it, the fans felt it, and Crespo opted for Rodriguinho, who didn't perform well. It was just a matter of time before the equalizer.

The young São Paulo midfielder lost possession, Maurício sped up to Flaco López, and the Argentine was impeccable with a difficult shot that could only be a goal if the ball went where it did, into the side netting. Those who live for this sport had little doubt that a comeback was inevitable, and indeed it was.

Sosa completed Aníbal Moreno's perfect cross to seal a comeback that is indeed historic and powerful, from a solid team that loves such journeys. Flamengo left 3 points in Bahia, Cruzeiro left another two in Belo Horizonte, and the Brasileirão has a new leader.

We've arrived.
