The Game

Corinthians started the match with full throttle, pressing São Paulo.

Yuri Alberto had a great chance to open the scoring just 12 minutes in, with a ball poorly deflected by Arboleda that fell to the striker inside the small area.

But Alan Franco managed to disrupt the Corinthians player, who headed the ball wide.

São Paulo appeared little in the offensive field but was more efficient when they arrived and opened the scoring with their first shot on goal.

Danielzinho crossed from the left side of the field and found Tapia free inside the area to head the ball into the net.

Towards the end of the first half, Corinthians missed another golden chance to score their first goal.

André slipped while trying to finish, and the ball fell to Matheuzinho free in the penalty area. Even with time and space to shoot, the fullback sent the ball wide.

Holding the lead, São Paulo retreated and allowed their rival to dominate possession throughout the second half.

After 12 attempts in the first half, Corinthians couldn't maintain the same pace and created little after the break.

But after spending so much time in the attacking field, the home team was rewarded in the stoppage time of the second half.

Breno Bidon received a pass inside the area and finished well to equalize the score.
