After a 1-1 draw against Remo in the Brazilian Championship, Palmeiras supporters took to social media to voice their frustration, with many directing their anger at head coach Abel Ferreira. The match, played at Mangueirão Stadium in Belém, was delayed by nearly two hours due to heavy rain. Despite playing with a man advantage from the 27th minute of the second half following Zé Ricardo’s red card, Palmeiras failed to create consistent pressure and could only manage a draw.

The draw sparked a wave of criticism from the Palmeiras fanbase, who blamed the coach for his substitutions and tactical choices during the final stages. Many pointed out that the team became overly reliant on crosses into the box and lost intensity after Ferreira’s changes. The discontent grew particularly strong because the Verdão had a numerical advantage but struggled to produce clear chances. Even the introductions of Paulinho and Maurício did not change the game’s momentum, and Gustavo Gómez was even used as an improvised center forward in the closing minutes.

Palmeiras did find the net in the 49th minute through Bruno Fuchs, but the goal was disallowed after the referee spotted a handball by Flaco López in the buildup.
The result leaves Palmeiras with only a point from the trip to Belém, and the fans made it clear they expect more from the team and its coach. The message “Nunca” (Never) echoed across social media, reflecting the supporters’ disapproval of the performance and the decisions made on the touchline.
