Palmeiras reaches Copa do Brasil quarterfinals despite 3-2 loss to Fortaleza

Palmeiras secured a place in the Copa do Brasil quarter‑finals after a 3‑2 defeat to Fortaleza at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá. The Brazilian side entered the second leg with a 3‑0 first‑leg advantage from the Allianz Parque, giving them a 5‑3 aggregate win.

Fortaleza opened the scoring through Miritello, but Flaco López equalised for Palmeiras, followed by a second goal from Murilo on a set‑piece. Lucas Emanoel later restored Fortaleza’s lead, but the aggregate result was enough for Palmeiras to advance. Coach Abel Ferreira praised the team's resilience despite defensive lapses and noted that the squad will now await the CBF draw to learn its quarter‑final opponent. The victory maintains Palmeiras’ strong position in the domestic season, keeping them atop the Brasileirão table.
