In another exciting game, Palmeiras starts losing, but achieves a great comeback at Allianz and qualifies for the knockout of Libertadores
This Wednesday, the 7th, Palmeiras received Barcelona de Guayaquil for the fifth round of the group stage of the Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores. Needing just a draw to guarantee his classification for the knockout stage of the competition, alviverde was startled to see his opponent open the scoring, 2-0, but managed to get a reaction and secured his place in the next stage.
Starting at full steam, Palmeiras scored in the 19th minute, with Rony. Raphael Veiga received a great pass from Luan, dominated and managed to adjust for the number 10, who hit a trivela kick, on the cheek of the net. However, the VAR was activated and saw the irregular position of the number 10, nullifying the goal of the home team.
In turn, Barcelona responded at 32 and opened the scoring! Zé Rafael missed a pass to Gabriel Menino in midfield and conceded a counterattack to the Ecuadorian team. Corozo activated Fydriszewski, who kicked first, in the corner, to open the scoring. Then, at 37 minutes, the attacker received the ball inside the area and finished it off, Weverton made a great defense but, on the rebound, Polaco scored his second goal of the game. 2 to 0 and halftime!
On the way back to the second half, Abel Ferreira’s men made the fans present at Allianz Parque vibrate in the first minute of the restart of the game. Raphael Veiga took a corner kick to the head of Gustavo Gómez, who went higher than the mark and headed hard to reduce the damage. 2 to 1!
Then, at 12, Dudu crossed, Rony straightened his chest and Piquerez appeared inside the area to score the second. But Palmeiras wasn’t satisfied with the draw, they kept pressing and, in the 24th minute, got the comeback! At first, Rony headed in from close range and stopped in Mendoza’s miracle, but on the rebound, Artur scored with a header to turn the game around!
In the 40th minute, Raphael Veiga took a free kick from the left, Mendoza left the goal very badly and Flaco López headed the crossbar. On the rebound, the ball landed on Endrick’s feet (who had just entered) and the player only had the trouble of pushing into the nets to enshrine the victory. 4 to 2!
