Corinthians congratulate Palmeiras on 112th anniversary with Derby salute | OneFootball

Corinthians used X, formerly Twitter, to congratulate rivals Palmeiras on their 112th anniversary, also saluting what their post called the world's biggest Derby.

According to Meu Timao, Corinthians replied to a Palmeiras post on the platform, and the rivals later responded with thanks in a cordial exchange. Such interactions on X have become common in recent years.

Dubbed the Derby by journalist Tomás Mazzoni, the fixture is among world football's great classics. The rivalry spans 109 years, starting with two Campeonato Paulista meetings in 1917.

Across 389 matches, Corinthians have 133 wins, with 119 draws and 137 Palmeiras victories. Palmeiras have scored 549 goals and Corinthians 502.

The most recent meeting was on 12 April at Neo Química Arena in the Brasileirão, where Corinthians, despite two red cards, drew 0-0 with Abel Ferreira's side.

In the women's football since 2020, the Brabas lead the series, winning 18 of 34, drawing seven and losing nine, with 54 scored and 33 conceded. A standout Derby came in 2023, when Corinthians beat Palmeiras 1-0 to win the Libertadores.
