Copa Libertadores Review: Palmeiras win in stoppage time to stay unbeaten

Palmeiras scored in the 10th minute of stoppage time to overcome Penarol 3-2 in a dramatic Copa Libertadores clash, while fellow Brazilian side Flamengo also won.

Fabiano settled the Group 5 contest in the 100th minute as 10-man Palmeiras stayed unbeaten in the South American club competition on Wednesday.

Defender Fabiano charged into the centre of the penalty area and headed home Michel Bastos' corner in Sao Paulo, after captain Dudu had been sent off for two yellow cards seven minutes earlier.

Scores were level at 2-2 when Gaston Rodriguez equalised for Uruguayan visitors Penarol with 14 minutes of regulation time remaining following Miguel Borja's missed penalty in the 56th minute for the home side.

Goals from Palmeiras duo Dudu and Willian had cancelled out Ramon Arias' 32nd-minute opener.
