Football: Piquerez, Martinez Fire Palmeiras To Brazil's Serie A Summit
Joaquin Piquerez: Uruguayan midfielders Joaquin Piquerez and Emiliano Martinez scored first-half goals as Palmeiras moved to the top of Brazil's Serie A standings with a 2-0 home win over Corinthians. Piquerez gave the visitors the lead with a long-range drive after combining with Colombian midfielder Richard Rios, and Martinez doubled the advantage with another shot from distance following Facundo Torres' layoff.
After Saturday's win, Palmeiras have seven points from three games, a point clear of second-placed Juventude. Corinthians is seventh, three points off the pace, reports Xinhua.
"We could have and should have scored two or three more goals," Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira told reporters. "It's a pity we didn't win by a bigger margin, given our dominance in general play."
