Palmeiras Dominates São Bernardo in Impressive Quarterfinal Display

Palmeiras secured their place in the Paulista Championship semifinals with a commanding 3-0 victory over São Bernardo on Saturday (1st). The match at Estádio Primeiro de Maio in ABC Paulista saw Abel Ferreira's side demonstrate why they remain one of Brazil's most formidable teams.

Flaco López opened the scoring for Verdão, but it was teenage sensation Estêvão who truly captured the spotlight with two stunning long-range strikes. The young forward's brilliant performance has football fans across Brazil buzzing about his potential.

Did you know Estêvão is now tied as Palmeiras' top scorer in this year's Paulista Championship? The secret to his success might surprise you...

Estêvão: The Rising Star Taking Brazilian Football by Storm

Estêvão's brace against São Bernardo wasn't just impressive—it was historic. With these two goals, the young attacker has now reached five goals in the tournament, tying midfielder Mauricio as Palmeiras' top scorer in the 2024 Paulista Championship.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Mauricio is currently sidelined with a shoulder dislocation, giving Estêvão the perfect opportunity to claim the top scorer title outright in the upcoming matches.

The quality of Estêvão's goals deserves special mention. Both came from well-struck shots from outside the penalty area, showcasing his exceptional technique and confidence. For a player so young to attempt such difficult strikes—and convert them so spectacularly—speaks volumes about his natural talent and the coaching he's receiving at Palmeiras.
