The last time Palmeiras faced a team led by Scolari in the tournament was Cruzeiro, in 2001, in the quarterfinals. There were two draws and in the penalty shootout the Verdão won. Before that, the Alviverde saw Felipão's Gremio win the match and win the competition under Gremio's command.

Transmission

It will be the first time in the current edition that the club will have a game broadcasted in the knockout stages, since the round of 16 against Cerro Porteño-PAR were shown on Conmebol TV, while the duels against Atlético-MG were broadcast on Disney channels. The last time SBT broadcasted a knockout match against Palmeiras was in last year's final against Flamengo in Montevideo.

In the two previous phases, Silvio Santos' network chose to broadcast Corinthians and Boca Juniors (round of 16) and Corinthians and Flamengo (quarterfinals). The issues of audience and advertisers have an important value for the decision. The São Paulo market is a priority for the TV stations. The biggest advertising quotas and the audience indexes in the state are more economically determinant.

Thus, ESPN will stay with Flamengo and Vélez Sarsfield.

Palmeiras will play as a visitor on August 30 in Curitiba and decide the spot in Allianz Parque on September 6. The commitments will take place on two Tuesdays at 21:30 (Brasília time). Disney gets the games in Argentina, on August 31, and Maracanã, on September 7. Two Wednesdays, also at 9:30 pm. Watch matches here.
