The Libertadores Cup 2020 came to an end, and as we had predicted, the Brazilian team Palmeiras won against Santos by a tight 1-0 in the 98th minute of the last match of the competition.
Equal confrontation, with few shots on goal and with similar possession of the ball by both teams. In addition to being evenly matched, it was a very tough match, 35 foults were pointed out, perhaps caused by the nerves of the players of both teams, the referee brought up 8 yellow cards, four for each team, for reckless tackles and unsportsmanlike behavior to the players and one Red for protesting the Santos coach.
The goal was made to wait until the 98th minute of the match, scored with a header by the young midfielder Breno Lopes in his first goal in this competition. Thanks to this goal, Palmeiras became CONMEBOL Libertadores champion for the second time in the club's history. Getting, thanks to this victory, the twentieth trophy of this competition for a Brazilian team.
As an anecdote of the match, Marinho, Santos FC forward, stroked the cup before entering the pitch, the most superstitious say that this should never be done, since he condemns the team not to win the match. Perhaps in his next ending he will think twice before doing it.
We are impatient to predict the Libertadores Cup 2021.
