Palmeiras beats Internacional and puts pressure on Flamengo

Palmeiras re-entered the Brazilian Football League with a 4-1 victory over Internacional, a result that allows Abel Ferreira's team to put pressure on the competition's leaders, Flamengo.

After the break for international commitments, the Brasileirão resumed and, in São Paulo, 'Verdão' was already winning 3-0 after half an hour, after a brace from Vítor Roque (04 and 24) and a goal from Lucas Evangelista (29), a player who played in Portugal for Estoril Praia and Vitória de Guimarães.

Vítor Roque scored the hat-trick just before half-time, in the 43rd minute, with the São Paulo team slowing down in the second half, when the 'Colorado' took advantage to score their 'honorary' goal, through Colombian Carbonero, in the 72nd minute.

With this victory, Palmeiras is just one point behind leaders Flamengo, who play at Juventude's home today, with the São Paulo team, who will have one less game at the end of the round, waiting for a possible slip-up from the 'red and blacks'.
