Club World Cup quarter-finals, Chelsea 2-1 Palmeiras advanced to the semi-finals. After the game, Palmeiras goalkeeper Weverton Pereira accepted an interview with the media.
The own goal that caused Palmeiras to be eliminated by Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup was judged as a mistake by FIFA goalkeeper Weaverton. After the game, Weaverton expressed regret for the conceding goal and affirmed Palmeiras' performance in the Club World Cup, and he believed that the club could have gone further.
"That moment was very fast, they played a short pass, and when I was ready to hit the ball, the ball changed line, and it was too late to readjust the move because the legs were bent. I tried to block the ball with my arms, but I couldn't succeed. It was very sad to concede this way, especially when we were in the best form of the game."
"This is football, we regret it, but it doesn't erase everything we've worked hard to build in this event. We tried to show the highest level of competitiveness against a strong team. We left with a feeling that we could have done more, but that's football. Now, we're going to prepare for the following season."
