Overview
- Palmeiras beat Vasco on penalties to reach the Copa do Brasil final, a match decided on Sunday that ended with a 5–4 shootout after a 2–1 loss in regular time.
- The Copa do Brasil result guarantees Palmeiras R$52 million in prize money so far, and the single‑match final against Grêmio is scheduled for December 6 at Estádio Mané Garrincha in Brasília.
- Palmeiras will also play Estudiantes in the Copa Libertadores final on November 28 in Montevideo and has already secured earlier CONMEBOL payments including about US$2.3 million for the semis and at least US$7 million for finishing as runner‑up.
- The club entered November with a reported September surplus of R$157.4 million largely tied to the Allan transfer, and the two final runs have added roughly R$93 million beyond budget targets with upside to about R$240 million if both trophies are won.
- Vasco leaves the tournament with R$18 million in accumulated prizes and loses the chance to earn the larger runner‑up or champion payouts and a Copa Libertadores spot that the cup could have provided.
