RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- After the 27th round of play in the Brasileiro Championship on Sunday, the Palmeiras soccer team took the lead of the competition. Surpassing Gremio, Palmeiras now stands atop the leader board of the 2008 tournament in Brazil.
The team was able to achieve the status by tying the home team of Nautico 0-0. The former leader, Gremio, also had a hand in the change of positions with their loss to Internacional by a score of 4-1.
Although Gremio and Palmeiras have the same amount of points in the competition, Palmeiras has the advantage based on victories, 15 to 14. Cruzeiro is now in third place with 46 points followed by Flamengo, rounding out the top four teams to potentially qualify for the 2009 Libertadores Cup. It is the first time since 2004 that Palmeiras leads the competition.
In the 28th round of competition, Palmeiras will host Atletico-MG on Saturday."
Como se vê, o futebol brasileiro é assunto em qualquer lugar do mundo. Quando o trabalho é bem feito, a repercussão vem de todo lado. Parabéns à atual diretoria do Palmeiras que está recuperando nosso lugar de direito no futebol. O Palmeirinha está vendo luz no fim do túnel !!!!
