In the dispute for third place in the Club World Cup in Qatar, Palmeiras who had just lost to the Mexican Tigers could not and said goodbye empty-handed. After a goalless draw in regulation time, he fell on penalties (3-2).
The biggest hit in the penalty shootout (3-2) gave Thursday the third place in the Club World Cup at the Ahly, against Palmeiras, after finishing the ninety minutes with a goalless draw. No one scored in the consolation clash between the two semifinal losers who were left out of the title for which the Mexican Tigers and Bayern Munich will bid.
From eleven meters, the Palmeiras was more misguided. He missed three of the five shots he fired. Roni, Luiz Adriano and Felipe Melo failed, the latter failing. A Ahly scored one more. They scored Bard Banoun, Mohammad Hany and Junior Ajayi. There was no success during the match. The Brazilian team was unable to impose its best technique in the face of the enthusiasm and momentum of its rival, who approached the opposite area more often and dangerously.
The South American box could not prevail in midfield and accused the intermittency of men like Raphael Veiga, Felipe Melo and Roni. A l’Ahly was able to score in the half hour through Amr El Soulia, but his shot went wide.
Before the half, the Egyptian team had a good chance in the boots of Mohamed Magdi, who also went wide. South African Pitso John Mosimane’s team controlled their rival well. Palmeiras pressed in the final stretch. The triple change established by the Portuguese Abel Ferreira gave freshness to the Brazilian team, which noticed the presence on the field of Gustavo Scarpa, Danilo and Gabriel Menino. He was able to win with a shot from Patric De Paula Carreiro, but his shot hit a post.
