Yesterday Palmeiras played against Avai in Sao Paulo at Palmeiras stadium called Palestra Italia. Palmeiras tied two to two but a victory was very important for Palmeiras to gain more points in the tournament. The grass was wet due to the rain and playing in a wet grass is not Palameiras strength. Palmeiras is still leading the brazilian league five point ahead the second place Sao Paulo. The tie at yesterdays match didnt affect much but a victory would make Palmeiras gain more points. Palmeiras was without five starters and lost many players for the next match in Recife againt Nautico. Vagner Love Palmeiras best striker received a red card the last due to a agressive tackle so he wont be playing the next match. Palmeiras has everything to become the next champion of the brazilian league and has a very strong squad.
