Palmeiras lived up to expectations and thrashed Capivariano last Saturday at Arena Barueri, securing a spot in the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista. In a collectively inspired night, the main individual highlight of the team was forward Vitor Roque, who scored two goals.
Besides the number 9, other players from Verdão had good performances. These include forward Flaco López, who was involved in the first goal, and midfielders Marlon Freitas and Andreas Pereira. The latter even scored from a penalty in the second half.
Two substitutes also made a difference. In his debut, forward Jhon Arias won the penalty converted by Andreas. Paraguayan forward Ramón Sosa showed opportunism to score the fourth and final goal for the green and white team.
On the other hand, midfielder Mauricio disappointed. He was not very involved in playmaking and fell short technically.
