Bascuñán validated goal by ‘Gabigol’ against Palmeiras after supposed hand before the score | VIDEO

Gabriel Barbosa is synonymous with a Flamengo goal. The main letter of attack of the ‘Mengao’ confirmed this again, no less than in the final of the Copa Libertadores. The victim of ‘Gabigol’ was Palmeiras, in the mythical Centennial Stadium of Montevideo.

At minute 27 of the second half, the Brazilian striker defined left-handed at the near post, after a pass from his teammate Giorgian De Arrascaeta and signed the transitional 1-1. The popular ‘Gabigol’, with that shot, surprised goalkeeper Werverton, who stretched, but little and nothing could do.

Of course, there were seconds of tension on the Uruguayan court. And it is that in the ‘Verdao’ they demanded a hand before the shot of Gabriel Barbosa. The main judge Nestor Pitana, to verify it, had communication with the members of the VAR and determined that the goal was 100% valid.

Party in Montevideo

The exponents of the best football in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo are the last two champions of the tournament, a clash that has not occurred in a Libertadores final for 60 years.

Thousands of ‘torcedores’ dressed in the jackets of their clubs – among which the red and black of the ‘Mengao’ will predominate – took over the city in the last hours, giving away postcards of quiet tourist walks and songs of football hubbub.

Bars and supermarkets in Montevideo that woke up this Saturday with posters offering ‘beer gelada’ were completely filled with euphoric supporters, who made Portuguese the language most widely spoken in many corners of the city.
