[ad_1]
With the title, Palmeiras becomes two-time champion of the Copinha with 100% success
Palmeiras won its second title in the history of the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. On Wednesday (25), Verdão faced América-MG at Estádio do Canindé and, despite having had a lot of work, they won 2-1 in a final full of emotions and football worthy of a title decision at the main level.
With the title, Palmeiras becomes two-time champion of the Copinha with 100% success, with nine wins in nine matches. América suffered its first defeat precisely in the decision and ends the competition with a great campaign, with eight consecutive victories and the defeat in the final.
Game
After 18 minutes of movement, Palmeiras opened the scoring with a top scorer. Vitinho was released by the left end and crossed low for Ruan Ribeiro, who only had to push for the almost open goal.
América’s tie came in the 40th minute with Adyson invading the area and hitting a dribble on Léo, who only stopped the move with a penalty. At first, Aranha saved Renato Marques’ submission, but the referee still hadn’t authorized the kick, and he even had his back to the move. In the second hit, the number 9 kicked in the middle and tied the match.
In the second half, at five minutes, América scored again with Paulinho, but the arbitration marked the player’s irregular position. Soon after, Aranha had to make a great save with Jonathan’s header, avoiding the comeback. Later, at 17 minutes, Kevin stamped Cassio’s crossbar.
The game was defined only in stoppage time with Patrick scoring the title goal. The defensive midfielder, who left the bench at the beginning of the final stage, took advantage of the bounce in the area after a corner kick and headed it to make it 2-1 for Palmeiras, two-time champion of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup.
Campaign
The second championship closes a perfect season for Palmeiras under-20, which a few months ago had already been champion of the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil in the category. Since the last Copinha final, Palmeiras played 43 games and won 34.
