The matchday 30 of the Brasileirão was one of the unexpected draws and close results at the top of the table.
The most remarkable game was the high-octane match between Juventus and Palmeiras, with the locals fighting with all their might to prove that they are tricky locals to any team. However, it was Raphael Veiga’s night for Palmeiras at the end. As a result, Botafogo’s lead at the top of the board was reduced to a single point.

Things were pointed out for International being the favorite, but it was a close match as it took Rafael Santos Borre up till the 67th minute to open the score.
The thing is that it didn’t take much more, as Internacional kept the ball possession for 64% percent of the match, and that helped them stop the visitors from having enough chances to level the field.
