This Sunday one of the best games ever happened. If you remeber my last entry stated that Sao Paulo were playing Palmeiras again after winning 2-1. That game was on this Sunday in the Palestra Italia the Palmwiras stadium. The game was very tense and I myself was very nervous and afraid. Then the worst possible thing happened on the 21st minute Leo Lima from Palmeiras made a tricky long shot which sent the keeper the wrong way after a small curve. After that I got even more nervous and tense I walked from one side of the room to the other, I could not stay still in one place and with every missed chance by Sao Paulo the more nervous and anxious I was because time was also running out. During half time in the locker rooms someone threw a pepper spray bomb in the Sao Paulo locker room which caused them to cough alot and for there eyes to tear and for them to become a little dizzy. They came back earlier to the field and the second half started the game became better and better and spaces opened and in a counter-attack Palmeiras scored the decisive goal which made it 2-0 and took away most possiblities of Sao Paulo qualifying which made me very sad. Right after the lights of the stadium went out and the teeams had to wait 16 full minutes to restart but unfortunatly that did not change anything. In the end it was 2-0 Palmeiras we Sao Paulo had lost but at least we are still in the Libertadores.
