Analysis: Palmeiras managed to be ‘Palmeiras’ even with little support
The Palmeiras team that took to the field this Sunday (05) against Guarani is not what we are used to seeing. Despite running the risk of losing field control in the quarterfinals, Verdão did not play well, not playing very well especially in the first half. The team was lucky that São Bernardo lost to Água Santa and, as a result, lost to Palmeiras in the classification of Group D of the Campeonato Paulista. > Check out the Paulistão-2023 classification and simulator by clicking here Players who usually change the face of the game, like Rony and Gabriel Menino, did not appear in the first half. Guarani created chances and were better in the initial stage. The duel between Piquerez and Bruno José was interesting, but the Uruguayan full-back remained in the pocket of the Bugre player. Verdão finished incredibly twice in the first stage, a 'strange' statistic when it comes to Palmeiras.
