São Paulo to face Palmeiras in Paulistão semi-final for second year running | OneFootball

And São Paulo will have a classic match in the semifinals of the Paulista Championship.

With the completion of the two remaining quarterfinal games of the State Championship this Sunday (22) and the victories of Novorizontino and Corinthians over Santos and Portuguesa, respectively, the semifinal matchups have been determined.

The Tricolor will face their rival Palmeiras, with their opponent having home-field advantage. It is not yet decided whether the match will take place at Arena Barueri or Parque Antártica.

The game will happen next weekend. The exact date and time will be determined by the Paulista Football Federation this Monday (23).

This will be the second consecutive year that the rivals meet in the semifinals of the Paulistão. Last year, the green team came out on top with a 1-0 victory, playing as the home team, in a match marked by a controversial refereeing decision regarding a fabricated penalty on forward Vitor Roque, which ended up deciding the final result.

The rivals faced each other in the group stage of this current edition, and the rival won 3-1, playing in Barueri (SP).
