O Palmeiras empatou com o Vitória por 0 a 0 em rodada válida pela 34ª do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Alviverde iniciou o confronto com forte pressão ofensiva, buscando controlar o meio-campo e criar oportunidades de gol desde os primeiros minutos.

Palmeiras intensificou a pressão e acumulou finalizações perigosas, porém esbarrou em grande noite de Thiago Couto, responsável por intervenções importantes em chutes de Allan, Felipe Anderson e Aníbal Moreno — este último exigindo uma defesa no ângulo que evitou um gol certo.

Pelo lado do Vitória, os contra-ataques se tornaram arma principal, e Erick quase abriu o marcador ao receber passe dentro da área, sendo travado no momento decisivo. Nas bolas aéreas, a equipe baiana seguiu levando vantagem e obrigando a defesa adversária a se reorganizar constantemente.

CARTÕES, EXPULSÃO E JOGO QUENTE

A partida ganhou contornos dramáticos nos minutos finais, com diversas faltas, pedidos de pênalti e discussões intensas. Andreas Pereira recebeu o segundo cartão amarelo já nos acréscimos e foi expulso, complicando a sequência do Palmeiras na reta final. Com o resultado o Palmeiras foi para 69, e em caso de vitória, o Flamengo poderá abrir 5 pontos de vantagem na briga pelo título brasileiro.
