Alviverde went to 13 points in five games, remains at the top of Group C and resumed the overall leadership of the State, overtaking São Bernardo, who will still play in the round. Locomotiva is in third in Group B, with the same seven points as São Paulo (which appears in second), but one less victory.
Coach Abel Ferreira, who completed his 100th game for Verdão, spared almost everyone who went out to play last Saturday (12), against Chelsea (England), with only goalkeeper Weverton as a starter. Defender Gustavo Gómez, midfielder Raphael Veiga and forward Rony (who came on in the second half) started the match in Araraquara on the bench.
Despite the alternative team, Palmeiras controlled the first half. The score was opened in the 37th minute, with defender Murilo completing, with his head, the corner kicking through the midfielder Patrick de Paula. Ferroviária tried to respond for two minutes, but Weverton made a good defense, with a different hand, in a cross kick by midfielder Gegê. At 45, forward Wesley had the chance of the second alviverde goal, but it hit the post.
The scenario did not change in the second half and it was a matter of time before Palmeiras increased their advantage. At 20 minutes Rony crossed, goalkeeper Saulo shared with Rafael Navarro and the ball was left for fellow striker Breno Lopes to send it to the nets. Verdão still had opportunities to expand with striker Deyverson (twice) and Breno Lopes himself, but the score did not change.
Palmeiras return to the field this Saturday (19), at 16:00 (Brasília time), against Santo André, at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo. On Sunday (20), at 8:30 pm, Ferroviária will face Inter de Limeira at the Major Levy Sobrinho stadium, in Limeira (SP).
Two more matches moved Wednesday for Paulistão. At the Novelli Júnior stadium, in Itu (SP), Ituano beat Guarani by 3-0. The forwards Aylon and Rafael Elias and the midfielder Kaio swung the nets for Galo, who was 11 points away, in the vice-leadership of the Group C. Bugre follows with seven points, third in Group A.
Both teams play again on Saturday at 8:30 pm. Ituano visits São Bernardo at the Primeiro de Maio stadium, in São Bernardo do Campo (SP). Guarani will face Derby Campineiro with Ponte Preta, at the Princess Golden Earring, in Campinas (SP).
Macaca was also defeated in the round. At the Moisés Lucarelli stadium, in Campinas (SP), Alvinegra lost 1-0 to Botafogo-SP, a goal by striker Bruno Michel. The victory took Pantera to the same 11 points as Ituano, placing third in Group C by goal difference. Ponte is in third place in Group D, with seven points.
