It wasn't easy. Veiga left the game with a possible injury. And Richard Ríos was in the fans' crosshairs.

But Palmeiras came out on top against Cerro Porteño this Wednesday (9), at Allianz.
Thanks to a goal from Ríos himself, Verdão won 1 x 0.
They continue 100% in Group G of the Libertadores. And now, in sole leadership.
Exchange, tension, and relief... with a scolding!
Veiga left the game just 12 minutes in with a possible injury to his left shoulder.
Felipe Anderson was called upon, but little changed immediately.
Palmeiras took a while to get a well-positioned rival involved in their field. And who was trying to surprise.
The higher technical quality of the alviverde would show, starting with the beautiful launch by Murilo.

It was up to Ríos to convert and ask for silence from the fans (41') - and to be targeted by them at the end of the first half.
The second almost came after a beautiful pass from Vitor Roque to Estêvão.
Vitor Roque almost there
It wasn't this time that the most expensive reinforcement in Palmeiras' history scored his goal.
Vitor Roque even scored. But the VAR indicated offside after he was called by Felipe Anderson.
Cerro tried. But it was up to Abel's team to have more concrete goal opportunities.
But without taking advantage of them. Flaco López, for example, had two.
📊 Table and schedule 📅
Palmeiras reaches six points. Bolívar and Cerro have three. Sporting Cristal remains at zero.

Verdão will only play in the Liberta again on the 24th of this month, when they will face the altitude of La Paz and Bolívar.
Cerro will host Cristal on the same day.
On Saturday (12), Verdão will face the derby against Corinthians at Arena Barueri.

Rice named in Champions League Team of the Season
Paris Saint-Germain have well and truly stamped their authority on this season's Champions League, with seven of their players named in UEFA's Team of the Season after their stunning 5–0 demolition of Inter Milan in the final. The only English inclusion is Declan Rice, recognised for his excellent performances throughout Arsenal's run in the competition. Advertisement Gianluigi Donnarumma was selected between the sticks, with a back four of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Alessandro Bastoni. Rice features in midfield alongside PSG's Vitinha. The attacking line-up includes Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Désiré Doué, and Ousmane Dembélé. Raphinha shared the top scorer award with Borussia Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy, both bagging 13 goals, and also finished as the leading assist provider with nine. Dembélé was named Player of the Tournament, while Doué picked up the Young Player of the Season award. It rounds off a dream campaign for PSG, who not only secured their first-ever Champions League title, but also became the first French side to win a historic treble under the guidance of Luis Enrique.

Brighton's Dario Vidosic: ‘We want to challenge the establishment'
Dario Vidosic: 'I'm not too interested about being the best of the rest, I want to be the best of the best.' Dario Vidosic: 'I'm not too interested about being the best of the rest, I want to be the best of the best.' Photograph:After overseeing Brighton's highest Women's Super League finish, you could forgive Dario Vidosic for being in a celebratory mood. But that is not his style. 'I'm not too interested about being the best of the rest, I want to be the best of the best,' he says at the end of his first season in English football. 'That's going to be our mentality, that's what we're going to strive to achieve.' Brighton finished fifth, eclipsing everyone except the so-called 'big four'. Doing so has proved to be something of a curse in recent years; in 2021, Everton dropped to 10th the following season while in 2022, Tottenham were ninth a year later. After finishing fourth in 2024, Liverpool parted ways with their manager, Matt Beard, in February and dropped down to seventh. Advertisement Vidosic is keen to not only ensure no such drop-off is repeated by his side but that they keep pushing forward and challenge for silverware. 'We want to build, we don't want to be a one-off where we have a good season and then we fall. We've set that platform now. Related: Women's transfer window summer 2025: all deals from world's top six leagues 'We've not achieved anything yet. We have to be proud of what we've achieved. For me, 'd have loved to have done a bit more. 'At the start I said we want to win trophies and compete in all competitions. We're trying to win, we're trying to build towards that. We go out every game with the intention to play our football, to try to get the three points. Until it's mathematically impossible or until we get knocked out of a certain competition, that [winning] is always the goal. That's how we train, that's the mindset we try to instil. Advertisement 'We want to make real history for the club and bring a trophy. We weren't able to do that this year but that'll be the ambition again next season.' Brighton's home form has been key to their improvement. Only Liverpool and Manchester City managed to win there. Chelsea and Manchester United were held to draws, while Arsenal, now the European champions, were beaten 4-2 at the Broadfield Stadium last month. Under Vidosic, Brighton have developed a modern playing style: they were ranked fourth in the WSL for possession and had the fifth-highest number of touches in their opponents' penalty area. Only Arsenal had a greater shot-conversion percentage. 'As a player, I always loved to have the ball,' Vidosic says. 'When I didn't, I'd try to run off to press to win it back so it stems a little bit from my playing days. I always wanted to have the ball at my feet. It's the sort of football I think is enjoyable for the players. Advertisement 'It needs to be enjoyable, the way we play. It's something I want people to enjoy, to say: 'We like to watch your team play football, we want to sacrifice our weekends, we want to travel crazy hours to all parts of the country to watch you and we know we're going to watch a good game of football.' That's really important.' Vidosic deployed the same style in his first managerial job, coaching Melbourne City to the 2024 A-League Women title. That success caught Brighton's eye and their approach last summer took the Croatia-born former Australia and Adelaide United winger by surprise. 'It all happened very, very quickly over the course of three or four nights, and then after that was told they would like to offer me the job and then the visa process, that took some time. 'It's more true in this day and age – where you just never know who's watching. That's something I always say to my players – your life can change sometimes with one game. If you do the right thing, you work hard, it doesn't matter where in the world you are, that opportunity might come.' For the 38-year-old and his young family it was a big decision but one he is evidently glad he took. 'I was excited with the project and also wanting to test myself in what's regarded as the best league in the world,. I felt I was ready. I thank them very much for taking a risk on a young coach to give me an opportunity. 'It's an ambitious, supportive club, especially of the women's game. We want to challenge the establishment, we want to be right up there. We feel we can compete.'
