Palestrinos

I’m gonna ask you what do you think when your team is losing by 2-0 and your goalkeeper, capitain and hero is sent off the pitch ? My team will lose by 4, 5 or 6 goals.
No when you speak about Palmeiras.

Even we have a canticle:

Palmeiras é o time da virada / Palmeiras é o time do amor / ÊÊÊÊÊ

1st half

With guts and determination we changed the game after has started bad in game sufferred the goal - scored by Paulinho 16′ in a great play - and Marcos was sent off for kicking another player before the same player has kicked him and referee gave a penalty kick to Bragantino at 25′ that Nunes sent Diego Cavalieri the wrong way.

But our team got up and scored goals one at 36′ by Diego Souza then at 38′ César Gaúcho received a second yellow card for tackling Valdívia thereupon El Mago equalised the match. At 40′ Da Silva got a straight red card because he was the last man.

2nd half

At 49′ Leandro put it in the back of the net with a clinical finish thenceforth we keep ball possession. Then the referee gave us a penalty kick (mistakenly) that Léo Lima lose it but at 77′ Valdívia received a pass feinted the goalkeeper passed to Denílson and with open goal put it in the back of the net and at injury time 90 + 1′ former Bétis’ attacker scored again.
