Youngsters score, F. Anderson shines, Palmeiras romp in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Palmeiras had no trouble securing their place in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 this Wednesday (13).

Qualification was already well in hand after a 3-0 win in the first leg, and it was confirmed with a 4-1 rout in the return match against Jacuipense.

Maurício opened the scoring, but Felipe Anderson was the standout player in the match played in Londrina, with one goal and two assists. All of that came in the first half alone.

One of those key passes was for 19-year-old Erick Belé, who scored his first goal as a professional.

In the second half, another youngster, 20-year-old Luighi, found the net from the penalty spot.

It was his first goal since January 10, against Portuguesa, in Palmeiras’ first match of 2026.

Abel Ferreira took advantage of the comfortable lead to field an almost entirely reserve side.

At halftime, he took off Gustavo Gómez, the only regular starter who began the match, and brought on fellow starter Murilo.

The team’s next fixture is in the Brazilian Championship, against Cruzeiro.
