Deyverson Scores First Goal for Palmeiras, Receivesโค Ovation After Win Over Former Club
SรOโค PAULO – Deyverson, recently transferred โto Palmeiras, scored hisโข first goal for the club Saturday night as Palmeiras defeated Fortaleza 2-1,โ receiving a warm โคapplause from the home crowd after a match marked by his history with both teams. The victory propelled palmeiras to second place in โthe Brazilian Championship, while Fortaleza remains in 19th.
Deyverson’s goal, a meaningful moment in his return to Palmeiras – where heโค previously scored the winning goal in the 2021 Libertadores โขfinal against Flamengo – comes after a turbulent period with Fortaleza.

This game underscores the ongoing competition in the Brasileirรฃo and sets โthe stage for Palmeiras’ upcoming Libertadores Cup quarterfinal match against River Plate.
Andreas also scored for Palmeiras in the victory. Deyverson had been removed from the Fortaleza lineup during the period coach Renato Paiva was in charge, and was later reinstated by Palermo after Paiva’s dismissal โขfollowing โten games with only one win.โข
