Last Saturday, August 24, Palmeiras won the match against Internacional with the score of 2x1. The victory was somehow expected since Palmeiras was playing in its magnificent home, Palestra Italia. It was not however guaranteed. The players gave a lot of themselves in this important match and presented a significant improvement in the attack. Internacional which was close by Palmeiras in the tournament with the difference of 4 points and 2 games behind was a dangerous opponent fighting for the leadership. Thus the victory could be considered a victory of "6 points" since Palmeiras wins the 3 points with the victory and another 3 points for gaining an advantage of 3 more points against a direct opponent.
Palmeiras' fans have more to smile at apart from the victory. The direct opponents that are close by at the Brazilian Tournament lost this weekend. São Paulo lost 1x0 against Atletico Paranaense and Atletico Mineiro lost the amtch against Gremio with the score of 4x1. The only direct opponent close by Palmeiras now is Goias which won Santo with the score of 2x1. The tournament table now has Palmeiras remaing as leader with 40 poinst, with Goias on its tail with 38 points, São Paulo at third with 36 points and Avai at fourth with 34 points.
Fans can't talk abouth this match without mentioning Diego Souza outcast of the match. Diego Souza was elected best player of the match with the grade of 8,5 (outstanding). With the whole team's support and this player's outstanding performance's at the match, the victory was acheived.
