Palmeiras' Weverton was the hero of the match, making miracles to prevent his team from losing. The team's 4-4-2 defense scheme allowed them to push Grêmio back and have a higher volume of play than usual. Andreas Pereira completed an incredible 109 passes, while Marlon Freitas and Lucas Evangelista also played important roles with their passes and finalizations.
The Grêmio team, on the other hand, closed ranks with a 5-4-1 defense scheme, but failed to capitalize on their opportunities. Weverton's performance was the main reason for the draw, making the result even more bitter for Palmeiras. The team has already had draws with Remo, Internacional, and Mirassol this season, and this result will not help their chances of winning the title.
Palmeiras has 16 decisions left until the end of the year, and they will need to regroup and recover their players during the FIFA break to have a chance at the top three spots in the Brasileirão.
