It appears that Santos seems to have a larger army of female supporters as opposed to Palmeiras, but despite seeking divine intervention, they were still unable to pull off a home win against o poderoso! It must’ve been the tia’s hat above. Her friend is reading a cooking magazine…! I want to meet these women, por favor.

Anyway, Palmeiras thrashed Santos 3-1 and the goals all came in the second half. Despite Luizinho’s 54th minute opener for Pele’s beloved team, the Verdão showed them who was king when Diego Souza, Robert and Vagner Love all scored with kisses for their visiting fans. Amazing. Unfortunately, Neymar picked up a yellow card for himself… but that doesn’t mean Juventus and their scouts aren’t watching.
