Check out Sosa’s stats, the spark behind Palmeiras’ comeback against LDU | OneFootball

Sosa was one of the standout names on Palmeiras' historic night this Thursday. With a goal and a remarkable performance, the midfielder led the start of the 4-0 thrashing over LDU, a result that secured Verdão a spot in the 2025 Libertadores final. Thus, Abel Ferreira's team overturned the 3-0 defeat suffered in the first leg and confirmed their place in another continental final.

The first goal of the match, scored by the Paraguayan, was the emotional turning point of the semifinal. At 19 minutes into the first half, after LDU threatened with a header from Medina, Palmeiras responded immediately. Allan delivered a perfect cross to Sosa, who headed it in and put Verdão ahead, igniting the fans' hopes at the Allianz.

Furthermore, Sosa had a standout technical performance in various aspects. According to Sofascore data, he completed 34 out of 37 passes, with 92% accuracy, and distributed one key pass. In long balls, he maintained 100% success, with five accurate out of five attempts. The number 19 also succeeded in two out of three dribbles he attempted and won three out of four duels contested.

With impressive numbers and constant participation in offensive actions, Sosa was certainly one of the main figures responsible for initiating the comeback that led Palmeiras to the final. Now, Verdão prepares to face Flamengo in the final, scheduled for November 29, at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. It is worth remembering that the clash will reenact the 2021 final, won by Alviverde 2-1 in Montevideo.
