🚨 Miracles happen! Palmeiras pull off historic Copa Lib comeback | OneFootball

Palmeiras made history Thursday evening, thrashing LDU 4-0 at Allianz Parque to overturn a 3-0 deficit on aggregate to qualify for the final of the 2025 Copa Conmebol Libertadores against Flamengo.

As expected, the Ecuadorians "parked the bus" to defend the significant advantage established at the altitude of Quito.

But Verdão did not lose heart and sought the comeback from the start!

And the standout player of the match was the young Allan - Abel's choice to replace Khellven.

Before the first half was halfway through, Allan crossed from the right, and Sosa headed in to open the scoring.

Controlling their nerves, Palmeiras managed to extend the lead in the added time of the first half, when Bruno Fuchs struck the ball hard to score from a rebound in the area.

Even with the experienced goalkeeper Domínguez performing a miracle at the start of the second half, the entry of Raphael Veiga added the "spice" needed for the comeback.

Raphael Veiga scored a late penalty, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way, and scored the necessary 4-0 for the qualification. 

History Made

Palmeiras had never won a Libertadores semifinal playing at Allianz Parque. What's more, no other club had managed a comeback in a Libertadores semifinal after losing the first leg by three goals!

A truly historic night at the Allianz Parque!
