The first meeting between Corinthians and Palmeiras in the history of the Brazilian Cup had a happy outcome for black and white formation. This Wednesday (6), the team of Parque São Jorge advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament, with another victory over rival, this time, 2-0, at Allianz Parque.
In the aggregate score, the team of Parque São Jorge built a 3-0, as they had also won 1-0. In Itaquera, Memphis Depay scored. In Barra Funda, Matheus Bidu and Gustavo Henrique scored the goals.
This year, it was the second significant victory of the Corinthian formation about Palmeiras. Recently, the two met in the decision of the Paulista Championship. Corinthians won 1-0 away, Yuri Alberto’s goal and won the title with a 0-0 in Itaquera, with a penalty defended by Hugo Souza.
This time, the alviverde team acted much of the second confrontation with one less. At 14 minutes, Aníbal Moreno headed in Martinez as the alviverde team was preparing to charge a corner and was expelled. Even close to the bid, Daronco had to go to VAR to review the play before making his decision.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, the team led by Abel Ferreira grew up in the game and took over the main offensive actions. Until then, there was a certain balance. It was the visitors, however, who were able to open the scoring in the final minutes, with Matheus Bidu, after a corner kick, 43 minutes.
With their advantage in the aggregate score expanded to 2-0, Corinthians returned quieter to the final half of the game. In addition to being able to neutralize the opponent’s attacks, he made one more, this time with Gustavo Henrique, at 14.
From then on, the match became more truncated. While the alvinegro team managed the marker, the Palmeirense team became increasingly nervous, unable to reduce the difference, which remained to the end, causing boos and screams of protests in the stands.
“Shame, shame, shameless team,” shouted the fans, minutes from the end of the match, while the team showed little reaction power on the field. In the final minutes, he still had another player sent off, in additions, when Emiliano Martínez took red after foul in Romero.
