Palmeiras forward Estêvão had a memorable 18th birthday, scoring in a 3-2 Copa Libertadores match against Bolivar, but later fell ill due to the high altitude in La Paz. Despite showing signs of fatigue before halftime, he managed to celebrate a crucial victory for his team, even while being carried off on a stretcher. Estêvão emphasized he had no injuries, attributing his condition to the altitude's effects. The win marks Palmeiras' seventh straight success this season, showcasing the strength and determination of the squad as they pursue further victories.
It took me a while to get used to it and unfortunately I couldn't continue... this very important victory away from home.
No [no muscle issues or injuries], it was just the altitude. It's surreal here.
This squad is wonderful, it really deserves what we are experiencing now, a hard-working squad, that is not satisfied with one victory or another.
This very important victory away from home... we always want to look for the next game.
