Palmeiras only ties with Universitario in training rhythm and will face River

In the quarterfinals, the São Paulo club will face River Plate , in matches that will take place in the weeks of September 17th and 24th. Conmebol will announce the exact dates of the matches.

In training mode... with the starters

Abel rejected fielding a reserve squad, but saw his starters get into training rhythm throughout the 90 minutes . Playing with three center-backs, Felipe Anderson on the wing, and two central strikers, Palmeiras couldn't even find a target against Britos before halftime—they only had three shots, and one of them, from the active Allan, hit the crossbar.

The Peruvians, on the other hand, launched an attack and even managed to find the net early in the match, but the goal was disallowed for offside . Jorge Fossati's men's momentum, however, was short-lived, and Weverton made a providential appearance on the few occasions he was needed.

Goals and highlights

Peruvian scares. Palmeiras started with the ball, but Universitario's pace set the tone until the tenth minute. First, Weverton nearly fumbled a save from Castillo, and then Concha scored from the edge of the box, but the goal was ruled out because Churín, in an offside position, was allegedly involved in the play in the referee's view.
