Unfortunately…

By: Lucas | April 15th, 2008

Unfortunately we lost to São Paulo FC, though with 2 irregular goals scored by Adriano. The 1st one was a volleyball pass, a “manchete” like we say in Brazil, but only the referee and the lineswoman didn’t see because they weren’t well positioned. The 2nd one he was fouled on Pierre, but there is discussion.

São Paulo FC was able to neutralize Palmeiras. Joílson and Jorge Wagner blocked off both sides and in this way Élder Granja and Leandro couldn’t progress with liberty. Zé Luís was like a tick on Valdívia but El Mago didn’t seek the ball.

Palmeiras just began to play at 65′ when Lenny got in. He was the best palmeirense on the pitch, he messed up the tricolor defense and got a penalty-kick that didn’t happen.

But on next Sunday we just need to win by one goal difference and they won’t have Zé Luís and Richarlyson, though we won’t have Pierre too.

Because of that they need to appeal to Fábio Santos (on loan from Lyon) come back who has been suspended by misbehaviour.

1st HALF

At 7′ Ceni in a dead-ball situation shot the ball that passed close to goal.

At 11′ São Paulo FC scored it. After a free-kick Jorge Wagner crossed into the mixer Adriano with his hand push it.

At 16′ after a cross from right-hand Alex Mineiro headed and hit it the post.

At 36′ Pierre shot it and Ceni saved.

2nd HALF

At 47′ Gustavo his first touch let him down Jorge Wagner got the ball and passed to Adriano who committed foul on Pierre and did the goal.

At 50′ Diego Souza passed over 2 defenders and shot it but Ceni saved.

At 77′ The referee after has gave a goal using a hand he practically was forced to create a “penalty-kick” and got this opportunity when Lenny got into the penalty area and simulated has been tackled. Alex Mineiro scored it.

At 79′ out of the area Valdívia made a good shot that Ceni saved it.
