He Palmeiraswith alone both of Endrickthe jewel that tied Real Madrid, lost this Saturday 1-0 to Athletico Paranaenseand temporarily arrived at Botafogo ahead of the Brazilian Championship, which will play on Monday against Vasco da Gama.
Endrick is key for Palmeiras, who have the same 59 points as Botafogo, who, however, have two less games compared to the team led by Portuguese Abel Ferreira.
As he had done with the two goals he scored the previous day precisely against Botafogo, the young Brazilian forward was once again key in adding three points by finishing a good pass from Raphael Veiga with a great shot before the rival goalkeeper came out, in the 6th minute. From there, the São Paulo team dominated the Arena Barueri to achieve their fifth straight victory in the Brazilian League.
Paranaense tried to vary the attacking front in search of a tie, but at all times they collided with the well-organized defense system of Palmeirense in this match that corresponds to the 32nd day of the Brazilian League.
Palmeiras’ victory puts huge pressure on Botafogo, who on Monday play against Vasco da Gama in the middle of the match to avoid relegation to the second division of the Brazilian Championship. The black and white team from Rio de Janeiro also has another match pending at home to Fortaleza, finalist in the last South American Cup.
In other results on Saturday, Gremio beat Bahía 1-0 thanks to a goal from Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez, while Atlético Mineiro and América Mineiro drew 1-1.
