Wesley Silva and Gabriel Menino struck second-half goals as Palmeiras secured the Copa do Brasil for a fourth time with a 2-0 home win over Gremio on Sunday. Wesley gave the hosts a 53rd-minute lead with a cool finish following a counterattack and Menino made it 2-0 six minutes from time, lashing a low shot past Paulo Victor after Willian Siqueira’s through ball. The result at Allianz Parque gave Palmeiras a 3-0 victory over the final’s two legs. It completed a memorable season for the Sao Paulo giants, who won the Copa Libertadores – South America’s premier club trophy – in January.
