Santos wins with a goal in stoppage time, leaving Z4 to take Palmeiras out of the lead. Thank you, Flamengo

Victory was all that mattered for Santos and Palmeiras to reach their goal this Saturday night (15th) at Vila Belmiro. In the end, the home team was better, winning 1-0 with Rolheiser’s goal 45 minutes into the second half at the end of the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, Verdun believes Flamengo will take the lead in the competition with five matches remaining.

The result took Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s side to 36 points, lifting them out of the relegation zone. They have two more than Vitoria, who are currently the first team within Z4. Abel Ferreira’s side currently have 68 points, three points less than Flamengo, who also won against Sport this Saturday and have reached 71 points after 33 games, the same as Albiverde.

Santos takes control

Santos held the ball and dominated the action against a Palmeiras team who simply closed the space and waited for a counterattack. Neymar was positioned close to the black and white area and performed well. With several absences in the attacking department, Palmeiras had difficulty building up their play and tried to take advantage of counter-attacks, but without much success. Mauricio took advantage of a mistake by Zé Ivaldo and took a risk from outside the area, forcing Blazan to make a good save. Verdun’s goalkeeper also performed well, denying Valeréal’s goal with a precise save using his left foot. In the final moments, the home side had a good opportunity after a corner kick, when Zé Rafael deflected it at the first post and Kerven appeared to save on the line.

Palmeiras improves his condition with Flaco, but receives a fatal injury.

Palmeiras changed their stance in the second half with the introduction of Flaco López. Creating good scoring chances made the team even more dangerous. However, there was a lack of care in completing the play. The tension continued until the last moment. Rolheiser was brought on in the 41st minute, and the fate of the match changed. After just four minutes on the field, the Argentine striker reached the edge of the area and scored Santos’ winning goal.
