The moment marked Palmeiras‘ 2-0 defeat, counting for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. Abel Ferreira was unhappy at the conference after the meeting
Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras went to Corinthians and lost 2-0, in a game valid for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão.
Rodrigo Garro (41 minutes) and Yuri Alberto (56 minutes) scored the goals in this match, which was marked by a truly unbelievable moment, with the score still being 0-0. Corinthians fans threw a pig’s head on the pitch and one of the players even had to remove it from the four lines for the game to continue.
It should be noted that «porco» is one of Palmeiras’ nicknames and even gave rise to the mascot «Porco Gobatto», in 2016. The name refers to João Roberto Gobbato, the club’s former marketing director, who was in favor of the definitive adoption of the nickname already in the 80s.

Now, after the meeting, Abel Ferreira held the usual press conference and was unable to hide his displeasure, given the seventh setback of the season, for the championship.
Asked about the days off that the coach gave his players and the consequent lack of good results, Abel “pointed” only to the scorer and moving on to the next question.
With this result, Palmeiras maintains second place, with 61 points, three less than Botafogo, who still have one less game played.
