Flamengo Win Fourth Copa Libertadores With Danilo Header in Lima

The result extends Brazil's run of Libertadores winners to seven straight seasons.

Overview

  • Flamengo became the first Brazilian club to win the competition four times, adding 2025 to titles in 1981, 2019 and 2022.
  • Danilo scored the decisive 67th‑minute header from a Giorgian de Arrascaeta corner to secure the 1-0 victory over Palmeiras.
  • The final was a bruising contest with 33 fouls and seven yellow cards, including a first‑half incident in which Erick Pulgar avoided a red card.
  • Palmeiras missed a clear late chance when Vitor Roque fired over from close range in the 89th minute.
  • The champions earn $24 million, a berth in the 2029 Club World Cup and a Recopa date with Lanús, and they are two points from clinching Brazil’s Serie A.
