Dream debut. Palmeiras' new super talent scores in his first match
During the night, Palmeiras convincingly defeated Liverpool from Montevideo with a score of 3-1 in their home match of the Copa Libertadores group stage.
However, the main event of the match was the debut start of 16-year-old Estevao Willian, also known as Messiñho. In the 66th minute, Messiñho managed to score his first goal for Palmeiras at the senior level.
This achievement made him the second-youngest goalscorer in Palmeiras history - at 16 years, 11 months, and 19 days. The record belongs to Real Madrid's new forward, Endrick, who scored at the age of 16 years, 3 months, and 5 days.
It's known that clubs like Chelsea, PSG, Barcelona, and others have shown interest in Messiñho.
Palmeiras has gathered 4 points in the first 2 rounds of the Copa Libertadores. In the 1st round, the Brazilian champions drew 1-1 against San Lorenzo. In the 3rd round, Palmeiras will play against Independiente Del Valle.
