Corinthians vs Palmeiras

A tense São Paulo derby at the Neo Química Arena ended goalless on Sunday, as Corinthians survived with nine men to deny Palmeiras a win in the 11th round of the Série A — a remarkable defensive display against the league leaders. André was dismissed as early as the 19th minute, caught by VAR for an obscene gesture toward Andreas Pereira. Corinthians were reduced to nine on 65 minutes when Matheuzinho earned a straight red for striking Flaco López. Despite the numerical disadvantage, goalkeeper Hugo Souza stood firm, pulling off a sharp save from Gabriel Paulista's volley, while Yuri Alberto squandered the hosts' best chance, failing to convert when clean through. For Corinthians, the point is a lifeline — they remain in the relegation zone with just 10 points and had gone seven rounds without a win. For Palmeiras, it is two points dropped at a rival's ground in a match their numerical advantage should have won.
