The match

The opening goal came from a brilliant finish by Miritello, who unleashed a strike from outside the box and gave Carlos Miguel no chance to save it.

The equalizer came after a great play by Felipe Anderson, who surged down the right flank and crossed for Flaco López to simply tap the ball into the net.

Fortaleza went ahead again still in the first half, after a ball crossed into the area bounced around and last touched Rodriguinho before going in.

Palmeiras’ second goal came in the second half, from an Andreas Pereira corner that found Murilo’s head.

And it was from another corner that the final goal of the match came, with Lucas Emanoel heading the ball into the net.
