With the result, the black-and-white club began the competition in second place in the standings, behind only Fluminense, who hold the advantage on goal difference. Another win against their rival could put Corinthians at the top of the table, depending on the other results in the round as well.

On the other side will be São Paulo, who began their Brazilian U-17 Championship campaign with a 1-1 draw against Athletico-PR at home. Monday’s derby will be the first Majestoso of the category in this edition of the tournament.
