Paraguayan alliance 🤝 Verdão: Palmeiras win and stay clear at the top

The Brasileirão leaders returned from the World Cup break with another win.

Palmeiras beat Coritiba this Wednesday (22) at Couto Pereira, thanks especially to their Paraguayans.

Recently naturalized, Maurício scored twice in less than 20 minutes of play, quickly making it 2-0.

Ramón Sosa provided the assist for the opening goal and extended the lead in the second half.

Paulo Roberto scored Coritiba’s only goal of the match, coming right after Palmeiras’ third.

Coxa still pushed for an equalizer in the closing stages, but created little.

Carlos Miguel’s main contribution in the match came in first-half stoppage time, with a spectacular save after a header from Thiago Santos.
