Title and just one defeat: Palmeiras' record against Tiago Nunes, LDU boss | OneFootball

Palmeiras keeps alive the dream of a fourth championship in the Copa Libertadores and has an important mission ahead this Thursday, when they face LDU in the first leg of the semifinal. The Ecuadorian team is led by coach Tiago Nunes, against whom Verdão has a good record.

Tiago Nunes has already managed three different clubs against Palmeiras: Athletico-PR, Corinthians, and Ceará. Against teams coached by the Brazilian manager, Palmeiras has the advantage: there have been five wins, one draw, and only one loss. In addition, Verdão has already won a title over the coach.

The last clash in the State Championship ended in a goalless draw at Allianz Parque, and in the penalty shootout, Verdão, led by Vanderlei Luxemburgo, lifted the trophy after 12 years.
