Endrick puts Palmeiras in the final of the Campeonato Paulista

Striker Endrick was decisive on Thursday night (28) at Allianz Parque, as he scored the goal that guaranteed Palmeiras’ 1-0 victory over Novorizontino in the semi-final of the Campeonato Paulista. Now Verdão is looking for a third consecutive title in the competition against Santos, who beat Santos last Wednesday (27).

Despite taking the final victory, the team led by coach Abel Ferreira did not have an easy time facing a courageous Novorizontino, whose midfielder Rômulo was the highlight.

In this way, Palmeiras depended on the individual flash of young striker Endrick to come away with the victory. The 17-year-old player showed his decision-making power in the 7th minute of the second half, when he managed to finish perfectly with his left after Argentine Flaco López managed to head the ball into the middle of the area.

From then on, Verdão showed coolness to hold on to the result until the final whistle and celebrate qualifying for their fifth consecutive final of the competition.
