Crazy comeback in South American Cup

On the morning of October 31, Palmeiras created an earthquake at Copa Libertadores when they came from behind to win 4-0 against Liga de Quito to win a ticket to the all-Brazilian final.

Palmeiras won 4-0 after losing the first leg by 3 goals.

"A crazy night in Sao Paulo," wrote ESPN . "Palmeiras wrote one of the most spectacular comebacks in Copa Libertadores history."

Facing the tremendous pressure of returning to their home stadium, Allianz Parque, coach Abel Ferreira and his team entered the match with the mindset of having nothing to lose. After just over half an hour, Ramon Sosa and Bruno Fuchs scored, rekindling the hope that seemed to have died for the 3-time South American champions.

In the second half, Palmeiras' performance became a real storm. Star Raphael Veiga shone brightly with a double in the 68th and 82nd minutes, sealing a 4-0 victory, thereby making a dramatic comeback to win 4-3 on aggregate.

The victory sees Palmeiras return to the Copa Libertadores final for the fourth time in six years, a testament to Brazil's incredible dominance of South American football. The Greens won in 1999, 2020 and 2021, and now have the chance to add a fourth title to their glittering collection.

Palmeiras’ opponent in the final on November 30 at Monumental Stadium (Lima, Peru) will be Flamengo, who beat Racing Club (Argentina) 1-0 on aggregate after two matches. Notably, Flamengo had to play most of the second half of the return leg with one less player but still stubbornly maintained the score.

The 2025 Copa Libertadores final will be a Brazilian civil war – a familiar scenario reflecting the dominance of Samba clubs, ensuring that 8 out of the last 9 seasons the prestigious title belongs to the country of artistic football.
