4 – 1
“José Manuel López broke the deadlock just two minutes into the second half, capitalising after Allan's shot had been blocked in stoppage time and an offside check had momentarily paused the momentum. The goal arrived before Vasco could regroup from the interval.”
Pivotal“Vitor Roque stepped up to convert a penalty and double Palmeiras's advantage, finishing with his right foot just moments after Thiago Mendes had been booked for arguing — a sign that Vasco were already mentally unravelling.”
Pivotal“Mauricio added a third within five minutes of the penalty, completing a stunning ten-minute burst that turned a tight game into a rout and prompted a wave of substitutions from both benches.”
Pivotal“José Manuel López added his second of the night in stoppage time to make it 4-0, putting a definitive stamp on a commanding Palmeiras victory and completing his personal man-of-the-match display.”
“Substitute Facundo Colidio pulled one back for Vasco in the final minute — a consolation that spared some blushes but could not disguise the scale of their defeat.”

Outstanding performance
Palmeiras•AttackerPalmeiras turned the screw after the break to produce one of the more complete demolitions seen at the Allianz Parque this season, racking up four goals in a devastating second-half spell that left Vasco scrambling for dignity. The match was goalless at the interval despite both sides having their moments — Allan forced a block deep in first-half stoppage time — but three goals inside ten second-half minutes, between the 47th and 56th, shattered Vasco's structure entirely. José Manuel López got the opening goal moments after the restart, Vitor Roque converted a penalty to make it two, and Mauricio added a third before the hour mark to effectively end the contest. Palmeiras's 57 percent possession and 87 percent pass accuracy underline the control they exerted, and their clinical finishing — converting all two of their big chances while Vasco squandered three — was the defining difference. For a Vasco side fighting to stay clear of the drop zone and collecting yellow cards through frustration, this is a result that does real damage to their season; for Palmeiras, three points in a tight title race could prove invaluable.
