Palmeiras v Atlético sees an ABSURD keeper howler, see what happened
Nubank Parque was the stage for a huge individual blunder this Sunday (26).
And Palmeiras are no longer the only unbeaten home team in the 2026 Brasileirão.
Victor Hugo - after a helping hand from Carlos Miguel - and Igor Gomes secured Atlético-MG’s 2-1 win over the competition leaders.
A match valid for Round 20 of the BR.
The result was also celebrated by Flamengo, who had slipped up earlier.
Check out the highlights soon.
Victor Hugo believed!
The first half saw a superior Palmeiras side.
They had around 70% possession, and Atlético only created one dangerous chance - which was denied by Carlos Miguel.
But Abel Ferreira’s men lacked precision.
Then came the second half and, nine minutes in, a massive mistake.
Cassierra was played in, beat his marker and took a shot.
Carlos Miguel was on his way to making a simple save until he failed to hold onto the ball.
The lapse proved fatal, as Victor Hugo was alert and took advantage.
See below:
Response and Igor Gomes steps up
Abel Ferreira turned to two players who were returning from injury: Felipe Anderson and Vitor Roque.
And the former ended up taking center stage twice.
The push for an equalizer paid off in the 75th minute, with the No. 11 showing composure and getting a deflection to score.
But Palmeiras’ joy did not last long.
Out of favor with Eduardo Domínguez at Galo, Igor Gomes had come on in the 71st minute. He had not played since April 29.
And it was he who scored Galo’s second after Cassierra got the better of Felipe Anderson.
It was his first goal of the season.
Palmeiras went all or nothing in the closing stages.
But Galo held firm. And ended the green-and-white side’s unbeaten home run in the BR.
Standings and schedule
Palmeiras remain on 44 points.
Six more than Flamengo, who have a game in hand.
They will play again on Wednesday (29), when they face Vitória in Salvador.
Atlético, meanwhile, moved up to 28 points. They opened up a cushion above the relegation zone and moved closer to the top five.
The match against Red Bull Bragantino was postponed - ***** Bruta have a Copa Sudamericana fixture - and, because of that, Galo will play their next BR match on the 8th.
They will be away to Remo at Mangueirão.
