Palmeiras eye historic comeback against Liga de Quito | OneFootball

The “Verdao” will try to overturn the 0-3 defeat suffered in the first leg against the Ecuadorian side and reach the continental tournament final once again. The match will kick off at 21:30 at the Allianz Parque, with Colombian referee Wilmar Roldán officiating.

Palmeiras clings to the hope of a heroic night. Starting at 21:30, they will host Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores, facing the tough challenge of overturning the 3-0 loss they suffered in Ecuador.

The match will take place at Allianz Parque, which has a capacity of 43,000 spectators, and will be broadcast on Fox Sports, ESPN Premium, and Disney+. The referee will be Colombian Wilmar Roldán, assisted in the VAR by David Rodríguez.

The team led by Abel Ferreira comes into the match shaken, but with the class that defines them. Accustomed to decisive moments, the São Paulo side will rely on their offensive power and the support of their fans to attempt a comeback that could send them to the final once again.

Despite a poor first half in the first leg, Palmeiras trusts in their champion credentials and in the strength that has made them one of the giants of the continent.

On the other side will be Liga de Quito, the executioner of several Brazilian clubs in this edition. Coached by Tiago Nunes, they topped Group C—finishing above Flamengo—and eliminated Botafogo and São Paulo on their way to the semifinals.

With Bryan Ramírez out, after being sent off in the first leg, the Ecuadorians will try to hold on to their advantage and return to a Libertadores final for the first time since their 2008 triumph under Edgardo Bauza.

Palmeiras: Carlos Miguel; Agustín Giay, Murilo Cerqueira, Gustavo Gómez, Joaquín Piquerez; Emiliano Martínez, Mauricio; Andreas Pareira, José Manuel López, Felipe Anderson; Vitor Roque. Coach: Abel Ferreira.
