Cruzeiro started better and opened the scoring as early as the 11th minute through the forward wanted by the Alvalade club. The 20-year-old attacker received the ball on the edge of the box, shifted it onto his right foot and fired a low shot into the back of the net.

The home side’s response came shortly afterwards, in the 20th minute, also with a fine goal. Felipe Anderson took advantage of a loose ball following a corner and struck it first time to level the match, sending the Palmeiras fans into raptures in the stands.

Despite the draw, Abel Ferreira’s side paid a physical price in the match. Still in the first half, Palmeiras lost two players to injury, including Felipe Anderson, who had to leave the pitch clutching his thigh. With this result, Palmeiras could lose top spot in the Brasileirão to Flamengo, coached by Leonardo Jardim, if the Rio side win both of their games in hand.

This season, playing for Cruzeiro, Keny Arroyo – valued at €9 million – has made 28 appearances. In total, across the 1,664 minutes he has been on the pitch, the attacker has scored four goals and provided three assists.
