O palm trees managed to beat Bolívar on the rainy night of this Thursday (29), at Allianz Parque. With the 4-0 victoryVerdão secured the leadership of Group C of the Libertadores and, to boot, raised the best campaign in the group stage of the continental competition.
After the match, Rony — scorer of the first goal of the match — praised the result achieved; mainly due to the fact that Alviverde was coming from a negative sequence of two defeats.
“We know that we came from negative results in the Brasileirão, but our head is very calm. Thank God, I was happy to open the scoring today. Happy to help the team and of course this is a victory for us to rank first general,” said ‘Rústico’ to the ESPN.
“Very happy for the victory, much more for the performance. Everyone knows that it is very important to win at home, in front of the fans, and everyone is happy. Now it’s time to celebrate and, tomorrow, to think about the next game, which is difficult for the Brasileirão. We need to continue winning and tomorrow turn the key”, he added.
Waiting for the start of the knockout stage of the continental competition, Alviverde now turns its attention to the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship. At Ligga Arena, at 4 pm (Brasília time) next Sunday, the Palestinian team will visit Athletico-PR — without Bento and Fernandinho, suspended —, in a duel valid for the 13th round of the national dispute of consecutive points.
