پالمیراس مقابل سائوپائولو

Palmeiras made the most of a numerical advantage to beat rivals São Paulo 2-0 at home in Round 27 of the Brasileirão, moving into the top of the table in a derby that turned on a single moment of madness before halftime. The game was finely balanced until the 42nd minute, when São Paulo defender Luís Osório was shown a straight red card, following a VAR review, for a reckless challenge on Piquerez. Palmeiras struck almost immediately, with Murilo heading home right before the break after a Gustavo Gómez flick from a Giay cross. Early in the second half, Vitor Roque doubled the lead, finishing off a quick counter set up by Khellven. São Paulo tried to respond a man down but never looked like completing a comeback. The win eases some of the pressure on manager Abel Ferreira after Palmeiras had recently lost the league lead, and puts them firmly back in contention at the top of the standings. For São Paulo, it's a frustrating derby defeat that leaves them stuck in mid-table, with plenty of work needed to turn their season around.
