Carlos Miguel stars as Palmeiras advance on penalties against LDU | OneFootball

Palmeiras advanced on penalties after an LDU fightback. Carlos Miguel saved two in the shootout and, according to Globo.com, topped the post-match ratings.

Marlon Freitas struck in the first half and Vitor Roque scored from the spot during the 90, then opened the shootout. LDU hit back in added time from crosses to force penalties.

Murilo was assured on the right of a back three, Alexander Barboza solid on the left. Giay defended stoutly and drove forward before fading. Bruno Fuchs’ late errors led to LDU’s stoppage-time goals.

Lucas Evangelista dovetailed with Marlon and set the tempo, his only blemish was a miss in the shootout. Andreas Pereira impressed on the left. Flaco López was an effective pivot until tiring.

Arias offered a smart outlet on the right. Felipe Anderson and Maurício made brief cameos but converted their kicks, as did Piquerez after an uneven display. Abel Ferreira’s plan with three centre-backs and three midfielders kept control until the 89th minute, before two crosses turned it into an avoidable drama.
