The atmosphere felt like a World Cup. It was as if green and white had taken over the United States. Literally! Even before the ball started rolling at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Palmeiras fans were already setting the tone: they took over Times Square (in the best way possible) with flags, chants, and an epic party. And when the final whistle confirmed a goalless draw against Porto, it felt like Verdão could have left with more. So let’s break down everything that happened in the post-match between Palmeiras and Porto!

Post-match: Palmeiras vs Porto 0-0 That Gave People Something to Talk About
Despite the scoreline, the match between Palmeiras and Porto was anything but boring. Verdão dominated large parts of the game, with more possession, intensity, and attacking momentum. However, they just lacked that final bit of finesse. As some fans joked on social media: “Palmeiras played like never before, and drew like always.”
Porto, on the other hand, held firm defensively and relied on counter-attacks. Still, it was Palmeiras who had the best chances — and the biggest regrets. Rony, Raphael Veiga, and company left the field with a clear feeling: “We could’ve won.”
Players React: “We Were the Better Team”
Right after the final whistle, Palmeiras players didn’t hide their frustration. “We were better, we controlled the game. But that’s football, right? If you don’t score, you pay,” said Raphael Veiga.
Coach Abel Ferreira praised the team’s attitude and highlighted their solid collective performance. “It was a competitive match against a traditional European side. We showed our level. Now we need to keep our heads up and fight for the win in the next match,” he stated.
So, even with the draw, the squad knows there’s a lot to appreciate — and correct.
Fans Turned New York into Palestra Itália
One of the most iconic moments of the tournament so far didn’t even happen on the pitch. The day before the debut, thousands of Palmeiras fans completely filled Times Square with chants, drums, and flags. A green sea in the heart of Manhattan!
The buzz was so big that FIFA President Gianni Infantino commented on social media:
“It was incredible to meet thousands of passionate Palmeiras fans in Times Square. Football is truly taking over the United States with the FIFA Club World Cup bringing fans together from around the world this summer.”
And he wasn’t exaggerating. The Verdão party went viral, with heartwarming footage of fans chanting “Avanti Palestra!” under the LED screens of New York. No doubt, a historic moment for Brazilian football.
What Now, Verdão?
With the draw, Palmeiras sits on just one point. That means they’ll need to win their next match to ensure qualification for the next stage of the tournament. The group is tight, and any misstep could be costly.
Abel Ferreira, ever composed (yet fiery as always), said the team will reflect on their mistakes and keep working hard. Rightly so — the fans are doing their part, crossing continents. The squad knows they need to match that energy on the field.
Something you (probably) didn’t know about the match
Pre-game party takeover
Around 5,000 Palmeiras fans joined the Times Square takeover. Believe it or not, many of them didn’t even have tickets. They just wanted to be close to Verdão!
What to Expect in the Next Match
Verdão still has control of their fate, but they can’t waste any more opportunities. The next opponent is yet to be confirmed, but signs point to an African or Asian team — which have been quite the surprises this year.
Abel Ferreira has promised tactical tweaks. Endrick might return to the starting lineup. And we may see more speed down the flanks to break defenses.
Bottom line: Palmeiras must turn their technical dominance into goals. Because possession alone won’t win games — goals do!
