Palmeiras continues with its overwhelming pace in the Copa Libertadores and after beating Deportivo Táchira 0-4 now this Tuesday he faced Independiente Petrolero who endorsed him a brutal 8-1 win where one goal in particular stood out.
The goal in question came thanks to an impressive volley from Raphael Veiga. The Brazilian, who had entered as a change, he took a ball collected from the corner and without letting it fall he finished with his left foot to seal what was the seventh goal of the night.
The goal aroused the surprise not only of those present at the Allianz Parque but also of Abel Ferreira, DT of the Brazilians, and the rest of the coaching staff who raised their hands to their heads.
Many of the Internet users and followers of the Copa Libertadores compared the score with the great goal that Dimitri Payet he scored the week before in the Europa Conference League.
The curious thing is that this was not Veiga’s only high-profile goal, because the left-hander left another pearl -this time from a free kick- with which the final 8-1 was closed.
During a free kick from the right, the midfielder hit the farthest goal and his shot went in so direct and powerful that the rival goalkeeper froze, unable to do anything to avoid the goal.
both goals Veiga celebrated them with emotion by taking advantage of the opportunity coming from the bench and served to further consolidate Palmeiras’ leadership in Group A of the Conmebol Libertadores.
