The weekend was full of ups and downs for Palmeiras, with a mixture of joy for the victory in the last round of the Brasileirão against Vasco da Gama and concern due to the injury of striker Dudu. The green and white team entered the field with determination, looking for three crucial points, and came out with a positive result that gave new motivation to chase leader Botafogo in the remainder of the championship.
In the last round of the Brasileirão, Palmeiras faced the troubled Vasco team, which was looking to get out of the relegation zone. With a solid performance and controversial Cruzmaltino's disallowed goal, the alviverde team showed its ability to overcome this weakened opponent and control the game's actions. The beautiful goal scored from a free kick by Raphael Veiga in the 20th minute of the second half guaranteed Palestra's three points, in the crucial scenario to guarantee the victory, leaving fans excited for the club's recovery in the Brazilian.
However, the news of Dudu's injury brought a tone of concern behind the scenes at the club. Dudu, one of the team's main attackers and leaders, suffered a knee injury that will sideline him for up to 9 months. His absence will be felt as he not only contributes his skill on the pitch but also plays a key role in inspiring and motivating the team.
Palmeiras' medical team is working tirelessly to assess the extent of Dudu's right knee injury and plan his recovery. The hope is that he can return as soon as possible.
While facing this challenge, Palmeiras players are focused on the second clash of the Libertadores quarterfinals, maintaining the rhythm built in the first match in Colombia. The victory in the last match against Vasco served as a reminder of the team's potential and determination to reach the competition's fourth place. With or without absences, Palmeiras is committed to fighting for every ball and maintaining its advantage to continue to the semis.
