Palmeiras forward Vitor Roque promised his team would come back stronger after its 1-0 loss to Brazilian rival Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores final on Saturday.

The result at Lima's Monumental Stadium left Flamengo as the only Brazilian club with four Libertadores titles, while Palmeiras has won three.

"It's a very painful defeat," Roque said in a social media post on Monday.

"It hurts because we knew we had everything we needed to win it. We fought until the last second, but it still wasn't enough. Even so, we won't give up until we succeed."

Roque struggled to make an impact in the Peruvian capital, spurning a chance to equalize in the 88th minute when he sent a close-range shot over the bar.

The 20-year-old Brazil international has scored 20 goals and provided five assists across all competitions for Palmeiras this season, having joined the Sao Paulo club from Barcelona in February.
