Sport wins by Palmeiras 2-0 in the inauguration of the Allianz Park (Scroll down for video )
The first game of the Allianz Park had nearly 36 thousand paying crowding the bleachers, the party crowd, animated players and a whole expectation created in the past four years, since the old Palestra Italia was closed for renovation. Had it all, just did not win the palm, as the stadium became accustomed to receiving in the centennial history of Palmeiras. With the first goal scored by Ananias, recent and discreet spell at the club, Sport won 2-0 and increased alviverde drama Brasileirão.
The distance to the relegation zone, leaving three rounds to the closure of the tournament, is three points. And worse: the direct competitors came from 39 points Palmeiras insisted on keeping. Worse, the new house, renovated, but with the same faithful presence of the fans, debuted with his left foot in a season marked by agony. Missing three games to end the despair. Or not.
The noise of the crowd at the reopening of Palmeiras home prevented coach Dorival Júnior passed guidelines. Plundered, the commander used the broadest possible range of gestures to try to get his team played a more organized way. On the other hand, technical Eduardo Baptista faced the force of rival fans with indifference. Said before the ball rolling, that was not intimidated by the Park and Allianz had already faced greater pressures on public and Pernambuco. The first teaser of the new arena of Palmeiras.

In the field, an offensive mindset with Palmeiras, but hurry to set plays and little caprice. A table between Henry and Wesley almost gave Marcelo Oliveira in good score but the defense did Pernambuco deviation. Sport already had a single letter in the creation of plays: Diego Souza. Perhaps the mystique of the former club, perhaps for ease of working the ball compared to his teammates.
Felipe Menezes had the chance to have Allianz Park to its feet 22 minutes. In perfect cross from Juninho's replacement Valdivia got free on the right to head locks, thought the singing, but failed miserably and missed the best chance of the game so far.
The first time, the Allianz Park also met his first simulation in play Henry, who fell after Durval pass away, the first scare when Juninho missed two passes ahead of Fernando Prass area and forced to work so hard, and the first boos with the final whistle of the first part of the game. There would still be other firsts in the second half.
The first time Dorival Júnior felt compelled to heat up a game, for example. After ten minutes of apathy, the commander took Allione the bank to withdraw Felipe Menezes on the team and, in return, gained speed, quality and pass the initiative. Fechadinho before a rival, was what he had to do. But then came the first deep breath. Was when Felipe Azevedo crossed from the left, the ball went through the entire defense and came up Danilo, who stretched but not completed.
For the unlucky Palmeiras, mystic ex manifested. But not with Diego Souza, as anticipated. And yes Ananias, discreetly passing by Palmeiras in Serie B last year. Once plucked from Danilo Felipe Azevedo deflected in the middle of the area and the remainder was at the feet of Ananias, which hit the corner of Fernando Prass. The first disappointment of the new arena of Palmeiras.
Gave time for more. Against an opponent who had to open up to reduce the drama in the new stadium, Patric took counterattack pulled by Diego Souza for two palmeirenses dribble and score with the second category. The first great goal in the new arena of Palmeiras. Great goal that leaves the sport with 47 points, tranquil in the fight against relegation contrary to Palmeiras.
Party and had new stadium operating perfectly. But also had boo, scream "team shameless" magnified by the acoustics inside Allianz Park.
