A penalty kick by Rafael Vega, in extra time, won the draw against Palmeiras at Atletico Paranaense (2-2), in the first leg of Recopa, which is equivalent to the Super Cup.
Verdau was better in the match, but the truth is that Atletico twice found themselves in front of the check mark. He took the lead in the 22nd minute, via David Terrance, a move that was verified just two minutes later by the VAR. watching video:

Abel Ferreira’s side, despite some injuries (Gabriel Menino, Luan, Gustavo Gomez or Scarpa), and it didn’t take long to reach a tie, responded in a shot with a hangover from Jailson. a look:

Only through set-pieces could the Copa America winner bring the two-time champions Libertadores into their own goal, while Palmeiras dictated his best match, having thrown a ball into the iron in the first half, by Rooney.
In the second half, the pace was slower, until home coach Alberto Valentim fired starter Marlos, who recently returned to Brazil, after nearly a decade in Europe, the last seven and a half years in Shakhtar Donetsk. The 33-year-old winger, who was crowned Ukraine, took just 10 minutes to make his mark, scoring a real goal. a look:

With about a quarter of an hour remaining, Palmeiras showed some physical wear and tear, but did not stop trying, while Fursau strengthened the line of defense to take the advantage. He ended up betraying him just in time, by Marcinio, who ousted Wesley within the area. In the penalty kick, Rafael Vega did not forgive.
Marcinho in a carriage ran over Wesley at the last minute.

A draw leaves everything open for the second leg, scheduled for March 3, now at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo. Any draw is decided by penalties (away goals are not an advantage), and whoever wins, of course, wins the title.
