Danilo da Silva header secures Flamengo Copa Libertadores triumph over Palmeiras
LIMA, Peru (AP) — Former Juventus defender Danilo da Silva scored a second-half goal and Flamengo downed Palmeiras 1-0 to win the Copa Libertadores final on Saturday.
Da Silva, who also spent time in Europe with Real Madrid and Manchester City, scored on a header in the 67th minute.
“I scored the goal for the team of my life,” said Danilo, who joined the Rio de Janeiro club this year after a 14-season career in Europe. “I knew we were going to have a set-piece opportunity and I was able to take advantage of it.”
Flamengo won its fourth Copa Libertadores crown and its first since 2022. It also won in 1981 and 2019.
