Brazilian club Palmeiras, currently third in Serie A Betano, two points behind leaders Flamengo but with a game in hand, won 4-1 against Fortaleza this weekend, thanks in particular to a brace from Pereira. Unbeaten in nine games (seven wins and two draws), Abel Ferreira's side recorded their third consecutive victory after beating Internacional 4-1 at home and River Plate 2-1 away in Argentina on September 18 in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. Dominated by the Argentine side (66% possession and 17 shots to 8), Brazilian club Palmeiras held their ground and came out on top thanks to Gomez (6') and Vitor Roque (41'), before Martinez Quarta pulled one back (89').
River Plate lost its first place in Group B of the Torneo Betano to Dep. Riestra following its defeat at Atl. Tucuman (2-0) on Sunday. This is their second consecutive defeat after losing the Copa Libertadores quarter-final first leg at home to Palmeiras (1-2). In this international competition, Gallardo's team has lost four points away from home against Ind. del Valle (2-2) and Libertad (0-0).
