In the second leg of the Libertadores, River Plate wasted no time making an impact. Just 12 minutes into the first half, Maxi Salas connected with a set-piece inside the box to beat the home goalkeeper and put the tie back on level terms. 

How the Aggregate Was Tied

The play began after a foul near the edge of the Brazilian side’s box. The delivery found Salas, who anticipated the rebound and directed a precise header into the back of the net. Palmeiras’ defense failed to react, leaving just enough space for the Argentine striker to seize the moment.

This strike not only leveled the score in the match but also tied the series overall, giving River a huge boost of energy and belief on enemy territory.
