Palmeiras beat Botafogo (SP) 1-0 at Allianz Parque to qualify for the final of the Campeonato Paulista, with Chilean midfielder Jorge Valdivia playing a pivotal role after his second-half introduction.
Leandro Pereira’s goal after 71 minutes was enough to send his side through to the final where they will face a derby match away from home with either Corinthians or São Paulo, depending on the outcome of Santos’s game with XV de Piracicaba later today.
