Ex-Flamengo man’s surprise before Depay penalty in Corinthians v Palmeiras | OneFootball

Which former Flamengo player helped Palmeiras in the victory over Corinthians?

Palmeiras defeated Corinthians 1-0 this Sunday (08), at the Neo Química Arena, in the Paulista Championship. Andreas Pereira became a key player in the match as he disrupted Memphis Depay during the penalty kick for Dorival Junior's team.

At 38 minutes into the first half, referee Raphael Claus awarded a penalty to Corinthians after a mistake by goalkeeper Carlos Miguel. While the play was being reviewed, Andreas Pereira repeatedly stomped on the penalty spot, which may have affected the area.

Memphis Depay, who requested the ball to take the penalty, slipped during the kick and shot wide. In other words, the midfielder may have influenced the game's outcome by affecting the Dutch striker's penalty.

Who scored the goal for Palmeiras?

In the second half, Flaco Lopez found the net and thus secured Palmeiras' 1-0 victory over Corinthians. Mauricio shot, Hugo Souza deflected the ball forward, and the Argentine seized the opportunity to score the goal.

And what about Flamengo?

Flamengo secured a spot in the quarter-finals of the Carioca this weekend after thrashing Sampaio Corrêa 7-1. Now, the Most Beloved focuses its attention on the match against Vitória, this Tuesday (10), at Barradão, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the Brasileirão.
