Dudu on Saturday opened the scoring at the Maracana stadium by deftly controlling a long diagonal pass from Antonio Carlos and then firing a 20-yard shot into the bottom left corner of Weverton's goal, reports Xinhua news agency.
Moreno sent the home fans into a frenzy shortly after his 68th minute introduction by dribbling into the penalty box and unleashing a shot that rebounded in off the post.
It was Moreno's first goal in 78 matches, a drought that dated back to March 8, 2016.
"I'm happy because I hadn't scored in a long time," Moreno said after the match. "But I would have been happy for the drought to continue if it meant that we'd won."
The result maintained Palmeiras' four-point lead over Flamengo at the top of the 20-team standings with seven matches remaining.
In other fixtures on Saturday, Santos routed Fluminense 3-0 and Corinthians beat Bahia 2-1.
