São Paulo U20 striker karate kicks corner flag after Palmeiras goal | OneFootball

On Monday, São Paulo's under-20 forward, Tetê, was at the center of a scene that has become increasingly common in São Paulo derbies. During the match against Palmeiras at Arena Barueri, for the Brazilian Championship of the category, the player scored the goal that opened the scoring and, in celebration, delivered a flying kick to the corner flag, which bore the symbol of the home team, Palmeiras.

“I am very happy to score with this jersey, my second goal. It's always an honor, especially in a derby of this magnitude,” said Tetê at the end of the first half, in an interview with SporTV.

After the flying kick to the corner flag, Palmeiras players pressured the referee for a warning, and the São Paulo forward received a yellow card.

Repeated Scene

Earlier this month, Flaco López, a Palmeiras forward, was involved in a similar situation in a derby against Corinthians, where he scored the winning goal for Verdão at Neo Química Arena and sparked controversy by kicking the corner flag in celebration. Luciano (São Paulo) and Yuri Alberto (Corinthians) have also celebrated goals in the same manner.
