Palestino to Face Independiente Medellín in Copa Sudamericana Round of 16
With goals from Junior Marabel and Gonzalo Sosa, Chile's Palestino secured their place in the Round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana after overcoming their series against Brazil's Cuiabá. After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, the Chilean team won the second leg 1-2.
It was the Paraguayan Junior Marabel who found space between the lines to put the visitors ahead in the 8th minute, a goal that had to be reviewed by VAR to be validated.
By the 61st minute, Gonzalo Sosa, who had just entered the field, appeared in the area to score brilliantly and seal the match, propelling them to the next round.
For the Brazilians, André Luis scored in the 78th minute, but it wasn't enough to prevent the team's elimination from the continental competition.
Their next opponent in the Round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana will be Independiente Medellín.
