Defending champions Palmeiras booked their place in the final of the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday, securing a battling 1-1 against Brazilian rivals Atletico Mineiro to advance on away goals. A second-half equaliser from winger Dudu cancelled out Atletico Mineiro’s opener from Chilean international Eduardo Silva to send Palmeiras through to the November 27 final of South American club football’s showpiece tournament. After the first leg in Sao Paulo ended 0-0 last week, Atletico Mineiro appeared poised to make home advantage count in Tuesday’s return leg at Belo Horizonte’s Mineirao Stadium.
