Corinthians keeper keeps up strong record against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Corinthians faced Palmeiras at the beginning of the evening last Sunday, August 31, at Neo Química Arena, in a classic match valid for the 22nd round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship, and drew 1-1. With this result, the Alvinegro stagnated in 12th position with 26 points (six wins, eight draws, and eight losses).

The draw also maintained the good record of goalkeeper Hugo Souza, from Corinthians, in matches against Palmeiras since he joined the club in July 2024. In total, there were seven matches against the Alviverde wearing the Corinthians jersey, with four wins, three draws, and no losses.

In seven games, only two goals were conceded (0.29), two penalty saves, with a 71.43% success rate in classics against the arch-rival. Since arriving at Parque São Jorge, he missed only one Derby: the 2-0 defeat against the biggest rival at Arena Barueri in the third round of the Brasileirão. On that occasion, the number 1 could not play, and Matheus Donelli was the substitute.

In matches against Palmeiras, he was decisive in winning the 2025 Paulista Championship, where he saved a penalty from midfielder Raphael Veiga in the second leg of the final at Neo Química Arena, paving the way for the state title over the Alviverde. He also had solid performances in the Copa do Brasil and Brazilian Championship.

In last Sunday's duel, according to Sofascore, a sports statistics app, he made six saves (two inside the area), 38 ball actions, 15/25 accurate passes, 5/15 accurate long passes, and 1/1 aerial duels won. His rating on the app was 8.0.

Since joining Corinthians in mid-2024, being instrumental in the team's surge in the last Brasileirão towards the preliminary phase of the 2025 Conmebol Libertadores, he has accumulated 76 games (38 wins, 21 draws, and 17 losses – just over 59% success rate).
