Palestino secured their place in the round of 15 last Thursday (1), with a 0-2 victory over Real Garcilaso, from Peru. The Chileans entered the field with an advantage, after a 2-XNUMX draw with the Peruvians in the first leg, in Cuzco, and the qualifying goal was scored four minutes into the second half by Benegas.

The return game between Flamengo and Palestino will be on Wednesday next week (28), also at 21:45 pm.
