At Allianz Parque, Palmeiras defeated Sport 3-0 on Monday (25), in the 21st round of the Brasileirão.
The match marked the debut of Palmeiras' new uniform, which pays homage to the 60th anniversary of the inauguration of Mineirão, when they represented the Brazilian national team in a 3-0 friendly win against Uruguay.
And, curiously, Argentinian Flaco López and Paraguayan Gustavo Gómez were the top scorers on the night when "Palmeiras played like Brazil".

With the ball rolling, the technical difference - reflected in the teams' positions in the standings - became evident.
Palmeiras had no difficulty building the win, which could have been even greater, especially considering the chances missed in the first half.
In fact, the goal that opened the scoring came before the 15-minute mark, when Vitor Roque provided a beautiful assist, and Flaco López scored with a first-time shot.
In the final stage, two "lightning-fast" goals gave the tranquility expected by the green and white fans.
At 11 minutes, Flaco López took advantage of a cross from the right and outjumped his marker to head in and increase the lead.
The Sport goalkeeper managed to make the save, but the ball had already crossed the line.
In the next minute, after a rehearsed play on a corner kick, Maurício crossed, and captain Gustavo Gómez appeared at the far post to score Palmeiras' third goal.
With the win, Palmeiras reached 42 points and returned to second place in the Brasileirão, behind only Flamengo (43 points), who still have a game to play but have one more match.
Sport, on the other hand, remains at the bottom with 10 points. The Lion returns to the field next Sunday (31), when they host Vasco, at Ilha do Retiro, in the 22nd round.
Meanwhile, Palmeiras will play the Dérbi Paulista against Corinthians, at Neo Química Arena, on the same day.
