São Paulo x Palmeiras

At August 30, 2009, São Paulo played against Palmeiras. It was an important match for both teams. Both teams needed to win, Palmeiras to stay at 1st place, and São Paulo to sum up 39 points on the competition (1 behind Palmeiras). The game remained 0x0, a bad result for São Paulo who is still 4 points behind Palmeiras. I think the game was very equal. Both teams had few opportunities to score but in the end defense players could stop the offense players from scoring. I expected more from the match. I thought São Paulo would be more offensive and would eventually score. Now, São Paulo has the obligation to win the next matches and needs to hope that Palmeiras ties or loses. The next game is on Sunday against Cruzeiro.
