Abel Ferreira once again rotated his squad. And Palmeiras stumbled again in the Paulistão-2025.

The current three-time state champion took the lead, but saw Novorizontino come back to win 2 x 1 this Saturday (25).

They saw a long series crumble against Eduardo Baptista's team.

The game, which was hosted by Verdão, was played at Arena Barueri and was valid for the fourth round of the competition.

There were 42 undefeated matches in the group stage of the Paulistão, with 30 wins and 12 draws.

Inter de Limeira and Carpini had been the last team to overcome the Green, in a match of the ninth round of the 2021 edition: 1 x 0.

The defeat tonight drew criticism from part of the fans against the green board still in stoppage time.

Facundo Torres for the 1st time

Gustavo Gómez, Aníbal Moreno and Veiga were three of the new faces - they had not even been listed against Santos.

And Palmeiras performed well in the first half.

They managed to control the actions and created chances.

Only converted at 41', when the good play started by Gómez ended with Mayke (in his 300th game with Verdão) leaving Facundo Torres in a good position.

First goal of the Uruguayan striker who came from Orlando City.

Penalty and Eduardo Bapstista on fire

Novorizontino came back better from the break. But they still needed to make Lomba work - he was a mere spectator.

Then Allan - a pleasant surprise so far - knocked down Patrick in the area. Penalty in favor of the visitors.

Pablo Dyego converted (68').

Coach who had a short stint at Palmeiras in 2017, Eduardo Baptista saw his bets in the final stage guarantee a superior Novorizontino.

And the turnaround came at 83', when striker Robson, ex-São Paulo, Fortaleza and Coritiba, took advantage of a marking failure, to guarantee the turnaround. It was his debut for Tigre do Vale.

The Palmeiras with a good performance in the first stage did not repeat the dose in the second half - only had a real chance of goal, with Benedetti.

Better for Novorizontino, who won the first in 2025 after a great performance after the break.

📊 Table and schedule 📅

Palmeiras continues with seven points. It remains the leader of Group D, but can be overtaken by São Bernardo (six) who still plays.

Will return to action on Sunday (2), when they will visit Guarani at Brinco de Ouro da Princesa.

Novorizontino went to five. It took second place in B - at least momentarily.
