Player ratings: who impressed or flopped for Palmeiras vs Inter | OneFootball

Palmeiras defeated Internacional 3-1 last Thursday at Beira-Rio, in the third round of the Brazilian Championship. Although the team did not have a great collective performance, the Alviverde side counted on some standout individual performances such as Gustavo Gómez, Andreas Pereira, and Carlos Miguel.

The Palmeiras goalkeeper was unable to keep a clean sheet, but helped the team with important saves, both in the first and second halves. He stopped a close-range header when the score was tied at 1-1 and, in the final stretch, made two crucial saves to secure the victory without further scares.

Gustavo Gómez shows his importance to Palmeiras more and more each day. He was responsible for opening the scoring in the first half, taking advantage of a corner kick from Andreas Pereira. Defensively, he also performed well. The midfielder, in turn, not only assisted the defender’s goal but also scored his own at the end of the match, proving to be an important weapon in the box.

Vitor Roque was very active in attack, but “took a while” to score his. The number 9 missed a good chance when the game was 1-0, and on the ensuing counterattack, Inter equalized. Tigrinho redeemed himself in the second half and, after dribbling past the rival defense, got his goal.

Two substitutions by Abel Ferreira were also important: the entries of Luighi and Evangelista. The former pressed Internacional’s ball out and stole the ball for the third goal. He passed to Evangelista, who then assisted Andreas Pereira’s goal.

On the other hand, Mauricio and Allan had quieter games. The latter took part in some quick plays, but was not as effective in finishing.

The team tops the table on goal difference and is closely followed by São Paulo, Fluminense, and Bahia.
