Palmeiras defeated São Paulo 2-1 last Sunday (01) in the semifinal of the Campeonato Paulista at Arena Crefisa Barueri. The goals were scored by Mauricio and Flaco López.

Error in the Match Report for Palmeiras and São Paulo

The referee of the match, Daiane Muniz, noted in the official match report that Marlon Freitas scored the first goal for Verdão in the Choque-Rei at seven minutes into the first half.

The Palmeiras midfielder was not involved in the play and did not directly participate in the construction of the move.

Controversy and Lost Officiating

Controversy arose early in the second half. Lucas and Gustavo Gómez were involved in a play with a possible handball, which was not interpreted as a foul by Daiane, the match's referee.

At 12 minutes into the second half, Andreas Pereira took a free kick in a rehearsed play with Piquerez, who crossed into the area, and in the rebound, Flaco López sent it to the back of the net, extending Palmeiras' lead. 2-0!

At 20 minutes, Daiane Muniz awarded a penalty after Marlon Freitas touched Bobadilla. Calleri converted the penalty, reducing the score. The officiating became increasingly confused as the game progressed.

With few subsequent chances, Palmeiras managed the advantage and secured their place in the final of the Campeonato Paulista.

And Now?

As finalists, Verdão returns to the field next Wednesday (4) in a match valid for the first game of the Paulistão, against Novorizontino. The decisive match will be on Sunday (8) in the interior of São Paulo.
