🎥 Palmeiras beat Novorizontino again to clinch the 2026 Paulistão | OneFootball

The Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras became the São Paulo champion again.

The fifth victory since 2020 came after surpassing Grêmio Novorizontino this Sunday (8).

After winning in Barueri (1x0), Verdão won 2 x 1 playing at Jorge Ismael de Biasi.

Winning the State Championship for the 27th time in its history.

Rain, mistakes, and emotion

The amount of rain did not help for a better technical level in the first half. There were plenty of water puddles.

Which made set pieces even more relevant. 

Palmeiras extended their lead after a confusing play and a goal by Murilo (6'). 

Novorizontino did not feel the blow.

And sought the equalizer with Matheus Bianqui with the help of Carlos Miguel (26'). 

Jordi, on the other hand, stood out on the other side before the break. 

Tigrinho punishes... the Tiger

Palmeiras returned to a more comfortable position at 17 in the second half.

The free kick taken by Carlos Miguel turned into a goal after Flaco's action and Vitor Roque's finish.

The atmosphere on the field started to heat up.

Enderson Moreira's team tried to reorganize on the field.

But they were unsuccessful and had to settle for a historic second place.

Now they focus on promotion to the Brazilian Serie A.
