Inkriql Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 The Flamengo champion easily beat Palmeiras Sunday 3-1 in the duel between the 2018 champion and the 2019 champion and that led to the dismissal of ex-selector Mano Menezes from the ‘Verdao’ bench. Despite not playing anything, Flamengo showed all his best football and brought out the shortcomings of Palmeiras, which started the season as a great favorite to revalidate the title and is currently third to 19 points of the Rio team. A sample of this was the play that ended in the first goal of the game, which turned the Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta four minutes before the start after a play that had 32 consecutive passes. The champion of the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirao demonstrated all its quality in that construction of the goal, in which the ball went through almost all the players of the team so that finally Gabriel Barbosa attended the former Cruzeiro, which did nothing but push the Ball towards the net. In the first half discount, Gabigol widened the difference and in the first minute of the second half, took advantage of a local defensive error to put the 0-3. With both goals, Gabigol became the top scorer in a Brazilian season since there are 20 teams, with 24 goals. After the three goals of Flamengo, Matheus Fernandes discounted for Palmeiras ten minutes before the end of the match held at the Arena Palmeiras stadium in Sao Paulo. The meeting only featured Palmeiras fans, as the police recommended to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CGB) the unique presence of the homeowners fans for fear of clashes between the braves of both teams in the middle of a strong rivalry this season. The victory, the first that Flamengo achieves in the Palmeiras Arena, led to the dismissal of Mano Menezes from the Palmeirense bench. Interestingly, Menezes replaced veteran Luiz Felipe Scolari, who lost his job by losing 3-0 against Flamengo in the first round. the locals, who started the season as one of the top favorites to the title, also suffered their third consecutive defeat in the Brazilian league, an anti-record that they had not achieved in the contest since 2015. The defeat was taken by the Santos of Argentine Jorge Sampaoli to place second alone, thanks to a 2-0 victory against the already descended Chapecoense. 2
