Despite having fewer players, Palmeiras sought to match Fortaleza and remain at the top of the Brasileirão
Even though they are twice behind on the scoreboard, Palmeiras drew away from home against Fortaleza and are at the top of the Brazilian Championship. Now, Verdão continues to count only on itself to win the national championship, in the remaining three rounds. And the victory happened even though Palestra did a lot in the second half with one game in hand, due to the release of defender Gustavo Gómez.
