Palmeiras beat Santos in the first Paulistão derby | OneFootball

Palmeiras defeated Santos this Wednesday (14th) in the first classic of the Paulistão in 2026.

Allan scored the only goal of the match at Arena Barueri, still in the first half.

The result puts Palmeiras at the top of the state championship, with six points in two rounds.

Santos remains with three points.

Palmeiras started the match appearing more in the attacking field, but without creating real goal opportunities.

For much of the first half, the best goal chances were from Santos.

The Peixe had less ball possession but threatened with speed.

However, Palmeiras was more efficient and took advantage of their first good arrival in the rival area.

Allan managed a tackle in midfield, set Flaco López in motion, and the Argentine returned the ball to leave the youngster in a great position to finish into the net.

The game continued without much excitement after the break.

Santos had more ball possession but only threatened goalkeeper Carlos Miguel in the final minutes.

Gabigol started the match on the bench, came on in the middle of the second half, and produced little on the field.

The best goal chance of the final stage was from Palmeiras, already in stoppage time, when Luighi came face to face with Gabriel Brazão and was stopped by the Peixe's goalkeeper.
