After winning his first victory in the under-20 Libertadoreso palm trees has an important commitment for the basic continental competition this Sunday (9). At the Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso Stadium, in Coquimbo, Chile, Verdão faces Boca Juniors to decide its classification for the next phase at 19:00 (Brasília time).
To advance, the team commanded by Lucas Andrade depends only on itself. Just beat the Argentine team and Alviverde takes the lead in their bracket.
In case of defeat, Palmeiras will be eliminated. In case of a tie, there is a chance of ranking – but this depends on a combination of results.
WHAT A CAPITAL VICTORY! ✅
