Decisive figure steers Palmeiras as leaders flex away | OneFootball

Jhon Arias inspired Palmeiras to a 4-0 win at Vitória with a composed finish and a neat assist, setting the tone for the leaders' dominant away display.

In the first minute of first half stoppage time, Arias slipped a precise pass for Maurício to break the game open, punishing Leão da Barra just before the interval.

Arias guided a left footed strike into the bottom right (70.), finishing a flowing Porco move after Joaquín Piquerez's feed.

Arias' control showed in the numbers: he completed all 37 passes, registered three attempts with two on target, created one chance and won possession four times, repeatedly pushing Verdão into dangerous areas.

Because Nêgo's back line narrowed to deal with crosses, Arias found pockets on the left to receive and attack, his timing and movement keeping the hosts pinned while Palestra managed the key phases.

Verdão host Fortaleza in the Copa do Brasil next, while Leão da Barra visit Athletico Paranaense in the same competition. How high would you rate Arias' performance tonight?
