Part 4/6:
Following the match, analysts like Fábio Piperno and Vampeta provided insights into both teams' performances. They highlighted Palmeiras's strong first-half showing, praising their movement and tactical execution. However, there was a consensus that the team exhibited familiar weaknesses in the second half, particularly in their inability to finish scoring opportunities and capitalize on their numerical advantage.
Piperno pointed out the improvement on Palmeiras's left flank, which was lacking in the previous season. Yet, despite some offensive movement and creativity, they lacked a central striker to finish plays effectively, leading to a scenario where even players like Benedet, a center-back, were pushed forward into attack.
