Decision remains open. Times face each other again next Tuesday, at Allianz
The balance marked the first duel between São Paulo and Palmeiras, for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, in Morumbi. The goals only came out in the second half, after a first stage without major highlights.
Luan opened the scoring for the tricolor São Paulo, after a hit and hit in the area of Palmeiras. Patrick de Paula, who entered the second half, tied after a free kick.
The teams face each other again next Tuesday (17), at Allianz Parque. The tie gives a slight advantage to Palmeiras. Because of the qualifying goal rule, a 0-0 non-Allianz result will take alviverde’s time to a semi-final. São Paulo is left with victory or an equality for two or more goals. The result kept São Paulo’s taboo on Palmeiras at Libertadores. Morumbi’s team was never defeated by the rival in the continental competition. Counting today’s game, there were six São Paulo victories and three draws.
