Palmeiras last lost a Libertadores second leg against River | OneFootball

On January 12, 2021, Palmeiras and River Plate faced off at Allianz Parque in a decisive match for the Libertadores, which marked the last defeat of Verdão in the return matches of the continental competition. Four years later, the two teams are back to decide a spot.

On that occasion, after opening 3-0 against River in Argentina, Verdão could be surpassed by up to two goals difference to advance to the tournament final. And that's exactly what happened. With excitement until the end, the team even saw VAR cancel a goal and a penalty in favor of the Argentines to secure a spot in the decision.

This time, the context is similar, but with a smaller advantage. With the 2-1 triumph over the Argentine team at Monumental de Núñez, Palmeiras needs a simple draw to go to the semifinal. In case of a defeat by a goal difference, the decision will be on penalties.
