Player ratings: Gómez leads Palmeiras to victory over Corinthians | OneFootball

This Sunday, Palmeiras defeated Corinthians 1-0 in the seventh round of the Paulista Championship. The protagonist of the duel was defender Gustavo Gómez, who played a fundamental role in Verdão's defense.

Besides the defenders, Flaco López, who scored the only goal of the game, was another highlight for the Alviverde.

The midfield sector performed below expectations, except for Marlon Freitas, who played crucial defensive and playmaking roles.
