Outstanding performance

Palmeiras dismantled Corinthians with a ruthless first-half-into-second-half surge, scoring three times either side of the break to effectively end the contest before the hour mark. Barboza's rebounded finish set the tone, then Agustín Giay's assist and brace, sandwiched around a horror own goal from Matheus Bidu, turned a tight derby into a rout. Corinthians barely competed with the ball - 45% possession and just 3 shots on target - while Palmeiras created 3 big chances and peppered the goal with 8 attempts on target. A late Gustavo Henrique header and a missed penalty from Paulo Henrique Sampaio Filho were mere consolation as Palmeiras cruised to a dominant derby win that boosts their title credentials while leaving Corinthians with serious questions after a meek surrender in a fixture they could not afford to lose so heavily.
How entertaining was this match?
Palmeiras ride a three-game home winning streak into the 400th Paulista derby, sitting just one point off the league summit. Corinthians arrive in freefall, 16th in the table and fielding an interim coach days after sacking Fernando Diniz.
