The classic between Palmeiras and Santos was marked by an unexpected delay. The Santos team arrived at the Verdão stadium 20 minutes late, due to a change in the access route for security reasons. Meanwhile, Palmeiras players waited patiently in the tunnel, before entering the field alone to hear the National Anthem.
The match, scheduled to start at 6:30 pm, ended up being delayed a few minutes. Santos’ delay may result in fines, as provided for in the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice. The Palmeiras team showed understanding and entered the field after the National Anthem was played, while Santos finally arrived on the field.
