In addition to deciding the match, the jewel set a record: he completed 11 dribbles, the most by a club athlete in a game in the last ten years — the fact was even celebrated on Palmeiras’ social media.
In last Sunday’s duel (5) for the Brasileirão, Estêvão was not in the spotlight, as he started the clash against Cuiabá on the bench. Names like Endrick and Luis Guilherme, on the other hand, played in the starting 11.
The young man’s star, however, shone in the 2nd half. The attacking midfielder was called into action and, in a short time, lined up the defenders before conceding a penalty.
He himself took responsibility and surpassed goalkeeper Walter with great skill.. The goal made it 2-0, a result that remained until the final whistle.
Estêvão was the best player on the field in Palmeiras’ last two matches. In the survey of numbers carried out by footstats, Estêvão received 7.8 in yesterday’s match and 7.3 in the game against Botafogo-SP.
The young man closed the night being praised by Abel. The Palmeiras commander, who spoke again about the Disney theme, said that the player has “joy in his legs”.
