The game

The first half lacked much excitement at Arena MRV.

Each team took only one shot on goal and both resulted in goals.

Flaco López opened the scoring with a header after a corner kick (27 minutes of play).

Near the end of the first half, Víctor Hugo equalized the score by taking advantage of a loose ball in the six-yard box.

After the break, the game opened up and Galo posed a greater offensive threat.

The referee annulled a goal by Cuello for marginal offside after a pass from Everson.

But the comeback came a few minutes later, with a cross from Gustavo Scarpa that Khellven deflected into his own goal.

Vitor Roque started the game on the bench and came on to make the difference.

After a long pass from the Palmeiras defense, the ball fell to the number 9, who managed to push it into the net to make it 2-2.
