Palmeiras Fans forced to watch the match on TV despite being in the stadium: Reports

The preparations began early on Tuesday evening in the streets of Pompeia, near the Palmeiras stadium. Throngs of Palmeiras fans gathered in front of the bar’s televisions, eagerly anticipating the match.

Fans in the stadium had to watch the players on Television 

However, before kick-off, supporters in a designated section of the stadium found themselves obstructed from viewing the players on the pitch. A stage and large screen were erected for a Brazilian singer’s concert, effectively blocking the fans behind the goal from enjoying the match live. These fans were relegated to watching the game on a screen, a frustrating situation for which all tickets were offered free as compensation.

As the Botafago built their lead over Palmeiras the initial excitement among the Palmeiran supporters shifted to a contemplative silence, reflecting their hope for a comeback amidst the unfolding game. However, the comeback never came.

A forgettable night for Palmeiras Fans 

In the realm of football, the outcome of a match often defies expectations, and this was portrayed in the encounter between Botafogo and Palmeiras on Tuesday night marking the beginning of the 36th round of the Brasileirão.

With the support of their fans, Abel Ferreira's team sought to capitalize on their home advantage by applying pressure on their opponents, albeit with limited success.

In a high-stakes match, catching the opponent off guard can make a significant impact, and that's precisely how Botafogo secured the lead during their initial offensive. A well-executed corner kick resulted in their first goal, scored by Gregor. Palmeiras tried to make a comeback, advancing their lines further up the pitch. However, the visitors managed to extend their lead with goals in the 73rd and 89th minutes.

At Allianz Parque, Botafogo delivered an impressive performance, securing a 3-1 victory over their rivals. This win allowed them to reclaim the top spot in the league standings.
