da 888casino: Palmeiras took full advantage of Santos’ slip-up to move to the top of the Campeonato Paulista table after Wednesday’s games.
da bet esporte: Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side now top the league with 16 points from six matches after they won for the fifth time in a row with a 1-0 away triumph at Mirassol.
The win did not come easy as the normally free-scoring Palmeiras side were well held by the hosts but they could not last the 90 minutes with substitute Patrick grabbing a 77th minute winner.
Santos missed the chance to remain on top but still played their part in the most entertaining match of the day – a 2-2 draw with Ponte Preta.
Romulo put the mid-table Ponte Preta side in front but Elano struck just before half-time to level proceedings.
A penalty from Renatinho just before the hour-mark looked to have given Ponte all three points before Maikon Leite’s equaliser five minutes from time forced both sides to share the spoils.
In other matches, third-placed Americana lost 1-0 to Portuguesa after Heverton’s 28th minute goal while Roger’s 19th minute strike gave Oeste a win by a solitary goal against Botafogo.
Borebi’s 75th minute equaliser gave Santo Andre an away point in a 1-1 draw at Mogi Mirim while the day’s other match saw Paulista and Noroeste play out a goalless draw.
