Khellven had his worst match wearing the Palmeiras jersey. The defender failed to follow the play in LDU's first goal and ended up deflecting the ball in the third. His poor performance led to his substitution at halftime. Andreas Pereira took a while to find his rhythm in the game and committed the penalty that led to the second goal.
Carlos Miguel, despite conceding three goals, made other important saves to prevent the damage from being even greater.
Finally, Vitor Roque and Flaco López couldn't make the attack shine. The number 9 was the most active offensively but missed a clear goal opportunity. The Argentine improved in the second half and also wasted a chance that could have reduced the deficit.
With the defeat, Palmeiras saw their spot in the Libertadores final become more distant. Now, Verdão needs a 4-0 victory to advance without the need for penalties. The return match takes place next Thursday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo (SP).
