São Paulo x Flamengo (what a disaster)

On October 10, 2009 São Paulo played against Flamengo and once again lost his chances to get near Palmeiras in the Brazilian Cup. The game took place on Maracanã and had approximately 29,000 people watching the game. Flamengo pressured São Paulo from the beginning to the end. At about 20 minutes of the 1st half, São Paulo scored a goal after a beautiful pass from Dagoberto to Hernanes, who dribbled Flamengo's goalie and scored. São Paulo was able to maintain the score until about 20 minutes from the 2nd half, when Flamengo had the opportunity to tie the game. Flamengo had a penalty kick. Petkovic was the chosen one to shoot the penalty kick. Petkovic kicked, but Rogério Ceni defended the ball. The game was 1x0, until the referee said the penalty kick had to be taken again because Rogério walked before Petkovic kicked the ball. After that, Petkovic scored for Flamengo. The game later became more equal. When the game was almost ending, Flamengo had another opportunity to score and did not waste it. The game ended 2x1.

I think São Paulo had the opportunity to win the game, but Flamengo definately played better and was more efficient offensively. São Paulo is 5 points behind Palmeiras, who plays on Monday. I think São Paulo's dream of winning the cup will end if Palmeiras wins. São Paulo has once again gotten a bad result. If things keep up like this, we have no chance. I still have faith in São Paulo. PALMEIRAS HAS TO LOSE =D
