RIO DE JANEIRO, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Palmeiras tied Sport 1-1 in a Group One match in the Libertadores Cup on Wednesday.
Palmeiras opened scoring in the 14th minute as the team's leading goal scorer Keirrison thumped the ball into the right side of the net from a free kick.
Sport responded just before half-time when the team was awarded a free kick just outside of the penalty box. Paulo Baier sent the ball towards the front of the net. Durval attempted to control the ball, but in a dual with the Palmeiras fullback, the ball popped out and landed at the feet of Wilson who took full advantage of the opportunity to fire the ball into the goal.
Sport and Colo-Colo are tied on seven points to lead the group standings, followed by Palmeiras and LDU de Quito, both on four points.
Palmeiras will need to win their next two games to keep their hopes alive.
Palmeiras will host reigning champions LDU on April 21 and Sport will host Colo-Colo the following day.
