There was a little bit of EVERYTHING at Neo Química Arena on Thursday night (27).

And the biggest winner of the Paulista Championship is back on top.

Playing in front of their fans, Corinthians won the Paulista-2025.

After winning 1-0 at Allianz, Timão drew 0-0 with Palmeiras in front of 48,932 fans, the largest crowd in the history of their home.

The result came after Hugo Souza defended Veiga's penalty and Félix Torres was expelled three minutes later.

There was also a lot of confusion started after Memphis gained time near the end line - generating red cards for two players who were on the bench.

In addition to several red cards thrown onto the field.

Timão won their 31st title in their history. The first since the 2019 title.

It was a "change" for the rival, who had the chance of an unprecedented four-time champion in 2020. And now, they avoided the Alviverde from winning the same objective.

Lacked + football...

The first minutes had Corinthians with more possession and volume of play.

Leaving Palmeiras uncomfortable, unable to create, and break free from the rival's marking.

The start of the decisive derby also had two principles of confusion, but without major problems.

The great chance of the initial stage was Corinthians'. Quick exchange of passes and Garro's conclusion on the post (26').

Palmeiras began to have more ball possession as the minutes went by.

Only without bringing real danger. Facundo Torres and Veiga didn't have as active participation as Abel Ferreira expected.

TOTAL MADNESS 🤯

Palmeiras returned with a more aggressive posture for the final stage - until the need.

And had a penalty to take after Félix Torres (already yellow-carded) knocked down Vitor Roque.

After much complaint from the Alviverde bench asking for another yellow card for the Ecuadorian - which generated Abel Ferreira's expulsion - Veiga saw Hugo Souza palm his shot (73').

Seventh penalty he defended with the Corinthians shirt in 50 games.

Three minutes later, Félix Torres made another foul on the 9th Palmeirense. And was expelled.

Garro, who was a doubt, was the sacrificed one in Timão. Who gained more breath with Ryan.

Already the Alviverde technical commission bet on a new scheme. And more strength up front.

And then Memphis gained time near the end line by going up on the ball.

It was the beginning of a great confusion with many pushes and aggressions from the reserves José Martínez and Lomba - who were expelled.

Already during the long additions, Nave missed badly. But Yuri Alberto saw Weverton keep Palmeiras alive.

The game got even more stuck due to the several red cards thrown onto the field.

Ending at 108'. And with Fiel's party.

🤔 And now?

Both teams will focus on the Brasileirão-2025.

Sunday (30), Corinthians will be in Salvador to face Bahia at Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova.

On the same day, Palmeiras will host the current champion Botafogo at Allianz.

Valid games for the opening round of the competition.
