Difficult Mission

Anderson Daronco's task will not be easy. The recent history of the classic carries controversies related to refereeing. In the last match between the teams in the Brazilian league, Tricolor lost 3-2 after leading and complained about two controversial incidents: a penalty not awarded to Tapia and a red card not given to Andreas Pereira. After the match, referee Ramon Abatti Abel was suspended by the CBF.

Six-point Choque-Rei

On Saturday at 9 PM (Brasília time), São Paulo and Palmeiras will face off at Morumbis for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. The match could decide the leadership of the Brasileirão, as Alviverde and Tricolor, respectively leader and runner-up, are tied in points, both with 16.
