Rain, mistakes, and emotion
The amount of rain did not help improve the technical level in the first half. There were plenty of puddles.
Which made set pieces even more significant.
Palmeiras extended its lead after a confusing play and a goal by Murilo (6').
Novorizontino did not feel the blow.
And sought the equalizer with Matheus Bianqui, assisted by Carlos Miguel (26').
Jordi, on the other hand, stood out on the other side before the break.
Tigrinho punishes… the Tiger
Palmeiras returned to a more comfortable situation at 17 minutes into the second half.
A free-kick taken by Carlos Miguel turned into a goal after Flaco's action and Vitor Roque's finish.
The atmosphere on the field started to heat up.
Enderson Moreira's team tried to reorganize on the field.
But did not succeed and had to settle for a historic runner-up position.
They now focus on promotion to the Brasileirão Série A.
