Palmeiras is already asking for a ticket – 09/29/2024 – Juca Kfouri

Palmeiras, boosted, definitively touched Botafogo, just one point away, the same number of victories and with a difference of five goals more.

Botafogo with Libertadores and Peñarol at the headlight, and with the alviverde flashing light at the rear, when asking for passage with prudence.

So prudent, in fact, that he almost suffered an accident on the route, having to fight harder than expected to run over Galo, already uninterested in the Brazilian Championship.

It took two penalties, converted by Raphael Veiga, again on the rise, to get rid of what would have been a disastrous draw, the result of a spectacular free kick by Hulk, the best free kick taker in the country.

While Abel Ferreira’s team, which has an angel on the right shoulder and the devil on the left, as he candidly and frankly confessed in the interview at the end of the game, was physically left — and Galo dragged himself painfully (no pun, please!) to from midway through the second half.

Having an agenda with only the Brasileirão seems to be the key to a third consecutive championship and a golden conclusion to the Palmeiras season, even more so with the return of Estêvão, scheduled for the next game, against the dangerous Bragantino, in Bragança, on the same Saturday (5/10) and time (4:30 pm) of the game in which Botafogo will visit Athletico in Baixada.

Furacão’s situation is even more uncomfortable than Braga’s, but they have a better team and are tougher opponents at home.

Furthermore, don’t forget the rare reader, Palmeiras will host Botafogo, in the third to last round, on Sunday, December 1st.

Register: if Botafogo loses the title, it won’t be like last year, but because of the wear and tear it is being subjected to.

Everything leads to an exciting final stretch with Fortaleza still looking to surprise the two giants, despite being another suitor who will visit Palmeiras at the end of October.

Palmeiras are the biggest favorites for the title and even Dudu presents himself as a decisive weapon, as he showed when he conceded the penalty that guaranteed the victory against Atlético.

MAJESTIC

For São Paulo, the game at Mané Garrincha represented two challenges: facing Corinthians away from Morumbi, where they usually do well, and showing that the trauma of being eliminated from the Libertadores was in the past.

For Corinthians it would be confirmation of the change in the winds and that escaping relegation was possible, or even likely.

There was also the third possibility, a draw — to avoid a crisis in the tricolor and keep the black and white flame burning.

In a horrible first half, that was what prevailed, until, in stoppage time, the VAR called the whistle blower to see what he should have seen, a penalty on Calleri, and sent off Fagner, who stepped on him: Lucas Moura hit and scored. 1 to 0.

São Paulo remained in the fight for the G4 and Corinthians in the Z4.

Corinthians started the final stage better, created two goal chances, conceded one, and had André Ramalho sent off, in the 15th minute, to lose any illusion.

Soon Arboleda made it 2-0, surprisingly Yuri Alberto reduced it and André Silva made it 3-1.

The black and white loss had fight and courage, but resulted in the losses of Romero and Ramalho for the game against Inter.
