Vitor Roque steps up as Palmeiras beat Atlético-MG, Hulk scores a screamer
At Allianz Parque, Palmeiras defeated Atlético-MG 3-2 on Sunday (20), in the 15th round of the 2025 Brasileirão. Best moments coming soon - stay tuned Before the game started, Richard Ríos went onto the field to bid farewell to the Verdão fans. The Colombian midfielder is transferring to Benfica. After spending some time on the bench, Ríos returned to the locker room. When the ball rolled, Palmeiras was better in the game and controlled the actions. And, after coach Cuca substituted Gabriel Menino - ex-Verdão - and he went straight to the locker room - with 30 minutes of play, Piquerez took a corner kick on the first post, and Lucas Evangelista anticipated the marking to head the ball into Everson's foot and open the scoring for Palmeiras. However, still in the final stretch of the first half, Hulk took a perfect free kick from the edge of the box and tied the game. But, after the interval, Vitor Roque - taking 50kg off his back - completed the cross from the left in the area, the ball hit Junior Alonso and died in the back of Galo's goal. Tigrinho was also decisive in the third goal, when he stole the ball from Rômulo and served Facundo Torres in the area, who rolled it to the middle for Maurício to score the third. In stoppage time, Hulk scored another goal from a free kick for Galo and set the game on fire.🚦 How it stands With the victory, breaking a negative sequence of three rounds without wins, Palmeiras reached 26 points and rose to fourth place. Atlético-MG, which suffered its second consecutive defeat in the championship, remained with 20 points and in ninth place. Verdão returns to the field next Wednesday (23), when they visit Fluminense, at Maracanã, for the 16th round of the Brasileirão. Meanwhile, Galo hosts Atlético Bucaramanga, at Arena MRV, on Thursday (24), for the second leg of the Conmebol Sudamericana playoffs. Atlético-MG's next game will be only next Sunday (27), when they visit Flamengo, at Maracanã, for the 17th round. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Palmeiras held by Porto as substitute keeper Ramos shines in Club World Cup draw
NEW JERSEY -Palmeiras and Porto played out a 0-0 draw in their Group A opener of the Club World Cup at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday, with Porto's stand-in goalkeeper Claudio Ramos delivering a stellar performance to frustrate the Brazilian side. Ramos, deputising for injured captain Diego Costa, produced a string of saves to deny Palmeiras, who dominated the contest but were unable to find a breakthrough. The substitute keeper's heroics ensured Porto left with a valuable point as all four teams in Group A remain level after Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Egypt's Al Ahly also drew 0-0 on Saturday. Palmeiras nearly grabbed a winner in the dying moments when Murilo's header struck the post, adding to their growing frustration. Speaking to DAZN after the match, Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira praised his side's efforts but rued missed opportunities. 'I think it was a well-balanced game where we had the best chances, but football is incredible. Porto's best player was their substitute goalkeeper, who made four or five incredible saves to frustrate us,' he said. Ramos' standout moment came in first-half stoppage time when he made three successive saves. Estevao and Mauricio were denied from close range before Richard Rios' follow-up shot was cleared off the line by a defender. The 32-year-old keeper stepped up admirably after Costa was sidelined with a leg muscle injury sustained in training last week. Palmeiras, led by their young attacking duo of Vitor Roque and Estevao, soon to be joining Premier League's Chelsea, were the more threatening side throughout the match, excelling in quick transitions and displaying incisive build-up play. However, Porto's defence held firm, with Ramos and his backline soaking up pressure. Porto, meanwhile, looked to exploit high balls to towering Spanish striker Samu Aghehowa and nearly benefited from a Palmeiras error in the 20th minute. Felipe Anderson tried to challenge Martim Fernandes in a high ball lifted over Palmeiras´ box but he sliced his header and almost scored an own goal, denied with a brilliant one-handed save by keeper Weverton to avert disaster. With all teams level on one point, Group A remains wide open as Palmeiras prepare to face Al Ahly and Porto take on Inter Miami in the next round of fixtures on Thursday.
