SAO PAULO — Raphael Veiga scored twice and Palmeiras overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit with a 4-0 victory over Liga de Quito of Ecuador on Thursday to advance to the Copa Libertadores final.
Midfielder Veiga scored in the 68th and 82nd minutes after Ramón Sosa and Bruno Fuchs‘ first-half goals.
Palmeiras, which won the Copa Libertadores in 1999, 2020 and 2021, will take on Flamengo in an all-Brazilian final on Nov. 29 at estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru.
It guarantees Brazil an eighth title in the past nine editions of the tournament.
