Agence France-Presse from ndtv said that Breno Lopes scored in the ninth minute of injury time as Palmeiras won their second Copa Libertadores title on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over Brazilian rivals Santos at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana stadium. Traditionally decided over two legs, for the second edition running the final — delayed two months by the Covid-19 pandemic — was played as a one-off contest, kicking off in sweltering heat and inside a largely empty ground. Breno came on as a late substitute and planted a magnificent header beyond Santos goalkeeper John deep into stoppage time to settle a scrappy encounter and earn Palmeiras a spot in next month’s Club World Cup in Qatar.
