Palmeiras defeated São Paulo 3-2 at Morumbi , in a high-voltage classic with a cinematic script .

Tricolor opened 2-0 with Luciano and Tapia; in the final stage, Vitor Roque and Flaco López equalized, and number 19 Ramon Sosa, with a header, completed the comeback for the green and white team in the final minutes.

The game had twists and turns: Palmeiras suffocated at the beginning, Tricolor's forcefulness until the 34th minute of the first half and a quick response from the Greens.

There was a VAR review of São Paulo's second goal, a technical stoppage at 26 minutes, a penalty claim by São Paulo at 6 minutes into the second half and protests from Abel Ferreira at 15 minutes. The atmosphere heated up with pushing and shoving at 32 minutes, but no expulsions.

First half: green pressure, 2-0 tricolor

In the first five minutes, Palmeiras pushed São Paulo into the box, with high marking and verticality.

Rafael appeared at 3, and at 10 Raphael Veiga, 23, received a yellow card, slowing down Palmeiras' momentum a little.

At 14, the script changed: after an error in the opponent's exit, Marcos Antônio found Luciano, who took the ball from Weverton and opened the scoring.

With the advantage, São Paulo began to control possession, alternating pace and acceleration on the wings, especially with Enzo Díaz.

There was a technical timeout at 26. Palmeiras continued trying to progress, but stumbled upon errors in the final third.

At 34, Tapia extended the lead after a deflection in the defense that ended in a cross at the far post; the move was checked by VAR for a possible foul at the origin and confirmed on the field.

Second half: lightning reaction and comeback at the end

The return brought an aggressive Palmeiras on set pieces: a chance in the 4th minute was not taken advantage of.

São Paulo responded with a counterattack in the 6th minute, with a possible penalty conceded by number 14; the number 10 of the Tricolor team strongly challenged the referee after the penalty was not awarded.

The derby got tense: in the 13th minute, São Paulo's number 14 was elbowed by Palmeiras' number 15 and suffered a nosebleed; in the 15th minute, Abel Ferreira protested and had to be restrained by the committee to avoid a card. From then on, the game heated up—harder fouls and numerous stoppages.
