Palmeiras defeated Capivariano 4-0 on Saturday night (21st) and secured a spot in the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista. In this way, Verdão reaches the semifinals of the Paulistão for the 13th consecutive time – it is the only club to have reached the penultimate stage every year since 2014.

The last elimination in the quarterfinals happened in 2013. On that occasion, they drew 1-1 with Santos in regular time and lost 4-2 on penalties, in a match at Vila Belmiro. Kleber scored for Palmeiras and Cícero for Santos.

Abel Ferreira’s team has participated in the quarterfinals for the 16th consecutive time and is on a streak of six consecutive finals played.

Champions in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024, Verdão were runners-up in 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2025, and semifinalists in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2019. They were also semifinalists in 2011 and advanced to the knockout stages in 2012 and 2013 – the last time they were eliminated in the group stage was in 2010.

Strong numbers in the state championship

Palmeiras has lost only seven of the 73 Campeonato Paulista matches they have played since the first round of 2022: the first legs of the finals in 2022 (against São Paulo), 2023 (against Água Santa), 2024 (against Santos), and 2025 (against Corinthians), as well as defeats against Novorizontino in the group stages of 2025 and 2026, and against Botafogo-SP in 2026.

There have been 48 wins and 18 draws in this period, with only 43 goals conceded and 114 goals scored. In this span, Palmeiras won three titles: 2022, 2023, and 2024.
