Palmeiras maintain 2026 habit of answering defeats with unbeaten runs | OneFootball

Palmeiras have made a 2026 habit of following defeats with unbeaten spells, avoiding any prolonged slump.

According to Nosso Palestra, that pattern has followed reverses against Botafogo/SP, Vasco and, most recently, Cerro Porteño.

After losing to Botafogo/SP, Abel Ferreira’s side went nine matches without defeat.

Later, a setback to Vasco preceded a 17-game unbeaten run, underlining their consistency across South American competition this year.

The latest reaction was perhaps the most striking. Beaten by Cerro Porteño in the Libertadores, Palmeiras went to the Maracanã to face Flamengo and won 3-0 with authority, intensity and attacking efficiency.

Flaco López opened the scoring, Allan doubled the lead and Paulinho completed the win.

The squad’s mental resilience and the competitive edge instilled by Abel Ferreira continue to stand out, and in a long, demanding campaign the Verdão have handled instability well.
