Maurício received a cross from Sosa in the penalty area and headed without much force, in the direction of the goalkeeper. He seemed to be in great condition to make a simple save, but let the ball escape and saw it hit the net. Fluminense continued to give gifts after the interval. Right at the beginning of the second half, a wrong pass in the defensive field made Palmeiras start a quick attack, with Vitor Roque leaving Facundo Torres face to face with the goal. The Uruguayan had the finish defended by Fábio and Palmeiras' attackers were unable to take advantage of the rebound. Shortly after, a new gift turned into a goal. Martinelli made a wrong pass near Fluminense's defensive penalty area and left Vitor Roque in great condition to invade the area and turn the score around. Fluminense pressured and sought their second goal in the game after falling behind. But Weverton didn't have to work much and Palmeiras held the victory, even with one player less on the field. Allan was sent off already in the final stage's stoppage time.
