Palmeiras played Santo Andre in ABC this wednesday (i was there). In the first half, the team from the capital had more chances of scoring goals. Santo Andre didn`t even seem to care that Palmeiras needed to win this game to maintain the 4 point lead. Nunes, scored two goals for Santo Andre and left Bruno José Daniel with 3 more points.

Atlético Mineiro played Vitória this Saturday and left Mineirão with 3 points. This result was very bad for Palmeiras since they did not sum points this round. Atlético is now 1 point from Palmeiras and is going to cheer for Goiás to beat Palmeiras next game.

The tournament is getting more interesting every round, even though my team has not summed points in 4 rounds. I am hoping this bad streak begins to change.

Palmeiras

This Sunday, Palmeiras played an important game. If the team from Palestra Itália won, the championship would almost be over because São Paulo Futebol Clube had lost on Saturday in São Paulo. Thus, this victory needed, did not happen. Petkovic, a veteran, scored 2 goals and Flamengo left São Paulo with a great result.

Now, after the humiliating defeat at home, Palmeiras has to try to make up for the 3 lost points at Santo André's stadium. This game is considered easy and I expect a 2 x 0 game.

27th round

Corinthians disappointed the fans on this Saturday. The game ended 3 x 1 for Atletico Paranaense. Felipe, Corinthians` goal keeper did not play a good match.

Atletico Mineiro beat Barueri and did not disappoint the 44 thousand fans that went to the stadium. Atletico is now getting closer to the G4. Which is made up of the 4 first teams at the end of the tournament. These teams will be playing the Copa Libertadores in 2010.
