With Jürgen Klopp making a notable appearance at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, Verdão beat Red Bull Bragantino 1-0 this Sunday (26).

The match was part of the 13th round of the Brasileirão.

The result also took Verdão to 11 matches unbeaten across all competitions.

Former Dortmund and Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has been in Brazil since last Thursday. And he was in attendance for Sunday’s clash.

Now Red Bull’s global director, he came, for example, to observe Vagner Mancini’s work and analyze what has been done at the club.

It was the second RB Bragantino vs Palmeiras match he has watched in person, as he was also at last year’s 0-0 draw in the Paulista, played at Allianz.

Red Bull Bragantino had more attacking momentum in the first half.

They were only denied a goal from Lucas Barbosa after four minutes thanks to Carlos Miguel.

But as the minutes went by, they failed to show efficiency.

Andreas Pereira’s perfect long ball found Sosa, who set up Flaco López.

And he finished first time to end his scoring drought in the Brasileirão in the 21st minute.

Massa Bruta had more possession in the second half.

They were up against a Palmeiras side that preferred to wait for spaces rather than take control.

With the Libertadores in mind, Verdão’s coaching staff took off Allan and Flaco López as early as the 13th minute.

There was, for example, a "second round" between Carlos Miguel and Lucas Barbosa.

Red Bull Bragantino remain on 19 points. They are ninth.

On Sunday (3), their challenge will be against Chapecoense at Arena Condá.

Palmeiras, meanwhile, moved up to 32. And they now await the rest of the round to find out the size of their lead at the top.

They will next play in the league on Saturday (2). That is when they will face Santos at Allianz.

Both teams will have South American tournament commitments before that.
