Hectic first half
Majestoso’s first chance came from . Ferreirinha dominated the pass at the edge of the area and hit Hugo Souza’s corner, forcing the goalkeeper to make a great save.
Timão tried to scare off counter attacks, but the initial goal of the match came from a dead ball. In the 16th minute, Raniele won at the top of the Tricolor defense and headed the ball into the back of Rafael’s net.

Corinthians continued to press and almost expanded four minutes later with Yuri Alberto, who came face to face with Rafael, but was stopped by the São Paulo defense.
Raniele, who had previously been the hero, ended up turning into a villain. In the 40th minute, following a wrong ball from the steering wheel, Bobadilla stole the ball and played the ball for Luciano to equalize.

Confusion and VAR activated
When celebrating the goal, Corinthians fans began throwing objects at São Paulo athletes who were celebrating the draw. Calleri fell to the grass after being hit by an electronic cigarette.
The Argentine’s fall irritated Timão’s players and the rivals began to fight.
EITA! TIME HAS CLOSED AT THE NEO QUÍMICA ARENA! 😳🤯

Another moment of the São Paulo goal was a supposed obscene gesture made by Bobadilla in celebration.
Paraguayan Damián Bobadilla, who stole the ball from Raniele to assist the São Paulo equalizer, left celebrating with his hand close to his genitals.
Because of this, the VAR called referee Anderson Daronco to analyze the move.
After analysis, Anderson Daronco decided not to expel the São Paulo player.
“After reviewing, I notice the São Paulo player celebrating the goal, he doesn’t touch his genitals. Race situation, no card”, stated the Majestoso referee.
HOW IS IT, RÔMULO??!! 😅😳
