Palmeiras is three-time champion of the Copa Libertadores da América
Palmeiras is three-time champion of the Copa Libertadores da América. Alviverde scored 2-1 at Flamengo at the Centenário stadium, in Montevideo, Uruguay, this Saturday afternoon (27). The first goal from Palmeira was scored by midfielder Raphael Veiga four minutes into the opening stage. After a beautiful shot from defender Gustavo Gómez on the right for Mayke, the full-back crossed perfectly to the back and the top scorer arrived alone to finish strong and low to the back of the net. After the first half, the game was very balanced and strong marking. The team from Rio de Janeiro took the most with the ball (66% against 34%), but the team from São Paulo was the team from São Paulo (3-1).

In the final stage, after Rubro-Negro had already made two changes (Filipe Luís leaving to join Renê and the exchange of Everton Ribeiro for Michael), the tie came. On minute 26, Arrascaeta gave a good pass to Gabriel Barbosa. The attacker invaded the area on the back of full-back Mayke and hit from the left. Goalkeeper Weverton ended up badly closing the right corner and couldn't prevent the ball from inflating the nets. That's how regular time ended. Then, in overtime, Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira took out Raphael Veiga and placed Deyverson. And, just four minutes into the first half, the change resulted in an incredible vacillation of the Flamengo defense. David Luiz played for Andreas Pereira, who lost the ball to Deyverson. The striker from Palmeira went free in the face of Diego Alves and hit a firm low. The ball still deflected on the goalkeeper, but went into the back of the net.
