The Palmeiras team, coached by Portuguese manager Abel Ferreira, beat LDU Quito 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals. The match took place in Brazil.
The minimal victory allows the Brazilian team to maintain the advantage until the second match, which will be held in Ecuador. This result puts Palmeiras in a favorable position to advance to the semi-finals of the South American competition.
LDU Quito, the Ecuadorian team, failed to score away from home and will need to win by a two-goal margin at home to progress. If they win by only one goal, the tie will be decided on penalties.
