Petkovic scored two goals to help Flamengo clinch a 2-0 away win over Palmeiras. Petkovic scored his first goal in the 23rd minute, dribbling through four Palmeiras players and knocking the ball into the upper right corner of goal.

Off a corner kick in the 62nd minute, Petkovic curved the ball, directing it straight into the net.

Palmeiras was awarded a penalty kick in the 87th minute, but Vagner Love shot the ball well over the Flamengo net to the disgust of the home crowd.
