Abel Ferreira returned to command Palmeiras after recovering from COVID-19 and had his return game marked by a draw against Avaí away from home
O palm trees went to Ressacada to face the Hawaii this Sunday, 26, in a match valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leader of the competition, Verdão had the chance to shoot even more at the top of the table after the tie Corinthians against saints, however, he ended up stumbling and gave the tie to the Santa Catarina team.
As in the last matches, Palmeiras had a very bad initial performance in the match and saw Avaí grow more and more. At the end of the first half, the hosts’ good performance was crowned with a goal from Bissoli after penalty committed by Gustavo Gomez. In the second half, Verdão turned around, but conceded the tie in a beautiful goal from lack of Jean Pierre.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC
Both goals from the Santa Catarina team came after infractions that have not happened in the Alviverde team’s games. In the first goal, Gustavo Gómez arrived late and committed a clear penalty, in the second, Mayke stopped the play with a foul at the entrance of the area, even with the opposing attacker being marked by three defenders. Despite the errors, Abel Ferreira praised Verdão’s departure.
“To congratulate my players and say that we did everything to win the game. We turned around and had three chances to win, but the opposing goalkeeper made a save and prevented us from winning. Our team struggled and tried, but that’s it. Our opponent had two chances in the second half, scored a goal and that’s it. We continue on our way“, commented.
“We are increasingly aware that opponents against us give their lives. Arthur Chaves celebrated every cut he made, but he should have been out of the game in the 36th minute for having elbowed Rony, but the referee didn’t even give a foul. The atmosphere in the fields we go to is that they want to beat us. We deserved to leave with the three points, but the best doesn’t always win. We leave here with a stitch“, added the coach.
