Palmeiras, under Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira, was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Copa Brazil on Thursday after losing again to Sao Paulo, this time at home, 2-1.
In the game played at Allianz Parque, Verdao needed to bounce back from a 1–0 deficit experienced in the first game, but they lost again despite going into the break with a goal lead.
Joaquín Piqueres gave Palmeiras the lead in the 34th minute with a cross from the left side of the attack and the ball went straight into the net, but São Paulo almost equalized after a restart in the 49th minute by Cayo Paulista.
The draw became difficult for Palmeiras, even more so at 89 when David practically “closed” the game 2-1 to Sao Paulo in a quick move away from the visitors.
After all, Abel Ferreira didn’t speak to reporters for the third time in a row, and it was director Anderson Barros who asked for “patience” in the face of some opposition from the fans and at a time when champion Palmeiras remains fifth in the standings. championship.
“We can’t rush not to write it all down. We need to understand where we are going wrong,” the manager said, acknowledging that the Portuguese coach had requested reinforcements.
The home loss to São Paulo is their fourth consecutive game without a win (two draws and two losses), and they have only had four wins in their last 10 games.
The next match of the championship team is already on Sunday, with a visit to Internacional, in the game of the 15th round of Brasileirão.
