Game Preview
Palmeiras avoided PSG in the knockout stage thanks to a furious finish against Inter Miami. That game ended 2-2, with Paulinho and Mauricio scoring each in the last 10 minutes of the event. This was a huge comeback that made things “easier” for them in the knockout stage.
This pushed them on Botafogo, avoiding PSG. This is the second tie for Verdao in the United States, and also the second straight in which they have scored at least twice.
Botafogo did lose to Atletico Madrid, 1-0, yet that was enough for them to finish second and advance to the round of 16. If it were a two-goal defeat, that would have eliminated the Brazilians from the tournament.
