Palmeiras lose to Cerro, left in a tough spot in Libertadores 🎥 | OneFootball

Palmeiras found themselves in a difficult position in the Libertadores group stage.

The team coached by Abel Ferreira was beaten by Cerro Porteño at Allianz Parque this Wednesday (20).

Vegetti, formerly of Vasco, scored the only goal of the match early in the second half. Watch below:

The result leaves Palmeiras in second place in Group F, and they will go into the final round with qualification still undecided.

To finish top of the group, the Brazilian side will need to beat Junior Barranquilla and hope Cerro Porteño lose at home to Sporting Cristal.

The team's last home defeat in the Libertadores had come in 2021, against Defensa y Justicia.

Verdão spent most of Wednesday's match on the attack, but created few real scoring chances.

In the best of them, Flaco López hit the crossbar with a free header inside the box.
