Intense Choque-Rei 🔥

São Paulo entered the field 14 points behind their rival but dominated the first half and took a 2-0 lead with goals from Luciano and Gonzalo Tapia.

At 15 minutes, Marcos Antônio made a skillful pass. Luciano controlled it while dribbling past Weverton and simply tapped it into the empty goal.

And at 33 minutes, Tapia took advantage of Enzo Díaz's low cross to extend the lead before halftime.

After the controversial incident with the possible penalty NOT awarded to São Paulo, the game completely changed.

Palmeiras pulled one back with Vitor Roque, equalized with Flaco López, and turned it around with Ramón Sosa.
