00:00Palmeiras moved closer to qualifying for the Copa do Brasil by beating Santos 3-0 here at Nubank.
00:07Park,
00:07Once again, Flaco Lopes stood out, scoring twice and also receiving help from Andréas.
00:14Pereira,
00:14who also played well, helped the team with movement, in creating plays, and was also one of the standouts of
00:21Abel Ferreira.
00:22And Flaco Lopes has been one of the key players in this turning point for Palmeiras.
00:26to seek victories again, both in the Brazilian Championship and in the other Cup competitions that Palmeiras is participating in.
00:34After the match, coach Abel Ferreira praised the players, and also praised Giai, who made his first assist.
00:41It was celebrated a lot, even by the whole team, right? The player has been at Palmeiras for a while now.
00:46But he still hasn't scored a goal and hasn't provided any assists either, so that's where his contribution lies.
00:51And today was also a match in which the player performed very well.
00:55Andreas Pereira also spoke in the mixed zone, the player even commented on the suspension he received from CONMEBOL.
01:02Libertadores,
01:03The player had already served his suspension in the second leg of the Round of 16 against Serro Portenho.
01:10But now it will also be a very important setback for Palmeiras against LDU at Nubank Park in the quarterfinals.
01:19Libertadores final.
01:21So Palmeiras secured that victory, that qualification in fact, they played a good match, had a dynamic game, missed many goals,
01:28There could have been more, Palmeiras missed at least three very clear goals there, one with Giai, another with Maurício,
01:35Vitor Roque was also a little below par today, he didn't have a good game.
01:39But overall, the team performed very well collectively here at Nubank Park.
01:45Now, let's look at Santos and see how the situation is, a little differently now.
01:49On one hand, while the situation is positive at Palmeiras, it's somewhat critical at Santos.
01:54Santos didn't play well here at Nubank Park; they started the first half balancing Palmeiras' attacks.
02:02and Santos' own defense managed to contain Flaco Lopes and Vitor Roque somewhat,
02:09But after 30 minutes, Andreas Pereira finds a good pass for Flaco Lopes.
02:14who hits a great shot and Brasão accepts it and concedes this goal that opens the scoring here at Nubank.
02:22Park.
02:23After the first goal, Santos didn't play well at all; Santos started letting Palmeiras have the ball.
02:31Palmeiras began to create chances and scored their second goal just 45 minutes into the first half.
02:37Right at the start of the second half, coach Cuca tried to make some changes to the team.
02:42He put Gabigol, who was on the bench, Rony, Gabriel, and the good weather to give a new boost to...
02:47the team
02:48who were trying to tie the game or even reduce the deficit by one goal.
02:53The point was that Palmeiras started the second half better as well, and as Rafa said,
02:58created the best opportunities.
03:00Maurício and Giai missed two clear goals, one-on-one with goalkeeper Brasão.
03:05But Flaco Lopes, as Rafa rightly said, was on fire and scored the second goal with a header.
03:11Lucas Viríssimo is leaving, which is a concern for coach Cuca.
03:14who also feels discomfort in her left calf there.
03:19Santos is expected to conduct an examination in the coming days.
03:21In the press conference, coach Cuca criticized the team and called it unacceptable.
03:30this stance from Santos.
03:31Ilharão himself, after the match while still on the field, said that Santos and the team didn't create many chances.
03:37And he didn't play a game worthy of the Clássico and of Santos.
03:41Santos and Cuca also pointed out that the focus for the next match is now against Corinthians.
03:48which is also an away game in the Brazilian Championship.
03:50Santos is not in a positive situation, unlike Palmeiras.
03:55which is in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.
03:57They won convincingly against Santos this Wednesday and are now in first place in the Brazilian Championship.
04:04Santos, on the other hand, is two points away from the relegation zone.
04:08And they need to secure some points against Corinthians at Neo Química Arena.
04:13So Santos leaves here under a lot of pressure, with Neymar also involved.
04:17Another important point is that Neymar was included in the squad, but did not play due to a tactical decision.
04:23Coach Cuca commented on this in the press conference.
04:26So let's see what happens in the next chapters.
04:30Santos is back, Santos is already training and will report back tomorrow.
04:33Just letting you know about the Clássico against Corinthians.
04:36And of course, the next match against Palmeiras at Vila Belmiro.
04:40Let's see if Santos can turn things around and if Palmeiras can qualify for the next phase.
04:45I think that's it, Rafa.
04:47And that.
04:47Well, we'll leave it at that.
