In a lively game, with confusion and an own goal, Corinthians beat São Paulo 3-2 this Sunday afternoon (10) at Neo Química Arena.
Playing at home, Corinthians started to press hard, leaving São Paulo only to counterattack.
In the 16th minute of the first half, Garro took a corner kick at the near post and Raniele scored with a header.
In the 40th minute of the first half, in a ball, Corinthians gifted São Paulo. Raniele made a mistake when receiving the ball from Hugo Souza and was disarmed by Bobadilla, who played for Luciano to score the equalizer.
From then on, the game was stopped for 16 minutes. While celebrating with Luciano at the corner, Callieri was hit in the hand by an object thrown by the crowd and threw himself onto the pitch with his hand on his head. Matheus Bidu tried to lift the player and confusion began between the players.
Sabino and Calleri, for São Paulo, and Gabriel Paulista and Matheus Bidu, for Corintians, received yellow cards for the confusion.
Afterwards, the video referee and Corinthians players asked judge Anderson Daronco to use VAR to analyze how São Paulo’s Bobadilha celebrated the goal, claiming that it had been in an obscene way. Daronco went to VAR and did not punish the player, saying that he did not touch his sexual organ when celebrating the goal.
Corinthians came back much more aggressive in the second half, taking away the Tricolor’s spaces.
In the 6th minute, in a great play on the right, Matheuzinho dribbled past the São Paulo defender inside the area and with a powerful shot scored a beautiful goal.
Five minutes later, Garro advanced on the left and passed it to Bidon, who was free in the middle and had time to control the ball and shoot into goalkeeper Rafael’s right corner.
At 43, on a corner kick, Mateuzinho scored an own goal when trying to take the ball away.
With the victory, Corinthians reached 18 points and was in 17th place in the table. São Paulo maintained 24 points and fourth place.
Corinthians will probably be punished for the behavior of the fans. Three fans were identified for throwing objects on the pitch.
