Palmeiras came from behind to recover a draw against Godoy Cruz in Copa Libertadores' 16-match first leg, while River Plate was held on Tuesday.
Palmeiras managed to draw 2-2 in Mendoza.
Garcia led in the opening match at close range in the sixth minute before doubling in the lead just before half an hour.
Felipe Melo however brought back Palmeiras in the 34th minute.
Incredibly, Garcia had the chance to complete his hat trick before half-time, but the striker escaped from a penalty kick, but Palmeiras goalkeeper, Weverton.
The hosts were punished for this lack just before the hour of play, Miguel Borja taking a pbad from Luan before a brilliant turn and finishing, putting the Brazilians in a decent position before the return match next week.
River Plate, defending its title, could be charged a penalty late after a 0-0 draw at home against Cruzeiro.
After getting a free kick after a VAR criticism, River – who had the best of luck – saw Matias Suarez score in the 99th minute with a penalty.
In the other game of the day, LDU Quito took a step forward towards the quarterfinals with a 3-1 home win over Olimpia.
