THE GAME
The match started with a lot of thought between the two teams and Atlético-MG took the initiative to create the plays, while the hosts bet on the counterattack. With 12 minutes of play, Palmeiras, who had no Weverton, Gustavo Gómez, Kuscevic and Danilo, also lost Raphael Veiga by muscle injury.
Despite the movement of Galo, the best chance of the first half came from Verdão, with a great Rafael Navarro, which ended up finishing out. In the second half, the hosts started to move more looking for the result and pressured Atlético to go ahead on the scoreboard, but even so, the goal didn’t seem to want to come out.
Both teams continued with a very strong game rhythm and created good chances, but failed to score. With the tie on the scoreboard, the two teams reached 16 points conquered in the competition and missed the chance to reach the leadership of the Brazilian Championship.
