Substitute Pochinho scored his second goal of the FIFA Club World Cup in extra time to win Brazil’s Palmiras 1-0 on domestic rivals Botfogo in a second round struggle on Saturday at Philadelphia.
The low strike of the Polyho, which took a minor deflection before the Botfogo Defender Alexander Barboza rolled the down corner, makes Brazil’s side the first quarter finalist of the tournament.
Palmirus will again play Philadelphia in Philadelphia in Philadelphia next Friday in Philadelphia.
Palmiras increased the pressure after Haftime.
In a minute in the second half, the attempt from the edge of Estevao’s penalty arch forced John to his first stop, a diving refusal for his authority.
Then in the 60th, John had to ensure that he placed the well -less effort of Mauricio from the edge of the penalty region through traffic.
Manager Abel Ferreira removed the impressive Estevao and Vitor Rake in the 64th minute.
But Palmiras continued his posture as an aggressive match, in which the Mauricio header forced John to save a great reflex in the 73rd minute.
In the 88th, Poominho could do better with the 25-yard half-wolf who was sitting well. Instead, he fired well.
There were some clear opportunities before the break.
In the ninth minute, Joquin Picarez sent a breathtaking low cross to a nearby post, but the stops found only a minor slipping touch to send it to the wide rolling of the remote post.
Botfogo’s best first-half time came when captain Marlan Freetas wandered ahead in the 43rd minute, but he also pulled his effort wide of the mark.
Palmirus again threatened the first-huff stops through Richard Rios’s long distance effort that left the crossbar narrowly.
