Controversy and epic comeback in a fiery São Paulo v Palmeiras clash 📹 | OneFootball

The Choque-Rei had it all. A blazing start, HUGE controversy, and an incredible comeback. In the end, Palmeiras defeated São Paulo 3 x 2 and took the lead in the Brasileirão.

A possible penalty caused quite a stir. And became the "key play" of this Sunday's (5) classic at MorumBIS, for the 27th round.

São Paulo was leading 2 x 0 when Palmeiras player Allan - even unintentionally - knocked down São Paulo's Gonzalo Tapia in the box.

The referees - both on the field and in the VAR - considered the play normal. It could have been Tricolor's chance to make it 3 x 0.

Before controversy x After controversy

Before this play, Luciano and Gonzalo Tapia had made it 2 x 0 for São Paulo in a devastating first half by the hosts.

And after this play, to add even more controversy, Palmeiras managed an EPIC comeback at MorumBIS.

Vitor Roque scored one, and Flaco López tied - with assists from Maurício. And Sosa TURNED it around after a cross from Aníbal Moreno.

São Paulo is in eighth position, with 38 points. The distance to the G-4 is five points - Botafogo, fourth, has 43.

Palmeiras, on the other hand, takes the lead - at least temporarily.

Verdão reached 55 - Flamengo, who visits Bahia at 6:30 pm this Sunday (5), also has 55, but fewer victories (16 to 17).
