Brazão then denied Jhon Arias before the interval as Peixe protected their lead.

José Manuel Lopez equalised for Verdão (64.), steering in after an Andreas Pereira cross.

Arias thought he had won it, but his finish was ruled out for handball after a VAR review in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time.

Verdão registered 22 attempts and forced nine corners. Peixe produced four shots on target from 14 attempts.

Next, Verdão visit Cristal in the Libertadores. Peixe travel to Recoleta in the Sudamericana.
