Header wide! That's perhaps the closest Santos have come to finding the back of the net! The freekick was played to the back post, but Verissmo could only head wide on the dive.

58'

Vina joins his Palmeiras teammate Gomez in the book for a foul on Marinho.

56'

While this game has yet to catch light, you get the sense that Palmeiras are closer to making something happen. They have been the more positive of the two teams so far.

55'

It must be said this match hasn't yet lived up to its billing. These two teams are cancelling each other out and goalscoring opportunities have been at a real premium.

Cross to the back post! That wasn't the worst idea from Menino. He tried to pick out Rony at the back post, but the delivery just evades the Palmeiras attacker. Good delivery!

51'

50'

Big things are expected of Danilo, but Palmeiras have so far failed to get their young playmaker involved much in the match. He has been something of an anonymous figure.

49'

It's so congested in the middle of the pitch. This was, of course, part of the plan from Santos, but it's not as if they have control over the contest through their extra midfielder.

48'

Palmeiras have the deeper of the squads so you would think they would be able to mix things up more from the bench in this second half. How long will Abel leave it to shake things up?

47'

46'

What we need in this second period is more attacking quality. Both Palmeiras and Santos have threatened at times, but they final third moves have invariably broken down.

45'

The second half is under way! It's still 0-0 between Palmeiras and Santos in the 2020 Copa Libertadores final!

45'

HALF TIME: Palmeiras 0-0 Santos. Still awaiting the breakthrough in the Copa Libertadores final. Still awaiting the first real goalscoring opportunity, to be honest. Stalemate.

44'

43'

Veiga has two opportunities to get a cross into the Santos box, but neither come to anything and that pretty much sums up what we have seen in the final third this evening.

42'

The two teams are cancelling each other out at the moment, but Palmeiras appear to have more control of the match. Santos have been the more reactive of the two sides.

41'

Cross into the box! Jonatan got the delivery into the Palmeiras penalty area, Marinho was alert to the potential opportunity, but he couldn't get his head on the end of the cross!

40'

39'

That wasn't the best of scoring chances, but it's the closest either side has come to finding the back of the net in this combative first half. No real attacking quality so far.
