Palmeiras activated ‘turnaround team mode’ and beat Tombens in the Copa do Brasil.
Palmeiras once again needed to be the team that would beat Tombense 4-2 again to take the advantage in the first game of the third round of the Copa do Brasil. With goals from Gabriel Menino, Flaco López, Gustavo Gómez and Rafael Navarro, Alviverde won at Allianz Parque, but did not overshadow the beautiful goals from Matheus Frizzo and Marcelinho who scored in the net for the Minas Gerais team. Abel Ferreira's men could then lose even on goal difference away from home, but still advance to the next phase of the national championship. > Check out the Copa do Brasil-2023 table by clicking here Verdão has a promising start, but falls on the scoreboard With line-up changes due to absences, Palmeiras showed that they can play an interesting match, as they managed to have some good chances early on, but they didn't managed to achieve the objective. At the same time, the defense had unusual deficiencies, such as holes in midfield. In one of them, Tombense opened the scoring. Gustavo Gómez played to the middle, where Matheus Frizzo was, who controlled and shot beautifully, with no chance for Weverton. > WORK: Vanderlan has a night as a waiter and is featured in Palmeiras' victory at Allianz
