Even so, he hit the crossbar on a header from substitute Rafael Navarro. Alvinegro needed a bid to get back into the game.

This came at 30 of the final stage. In a corner from Róger Guedes, Piquerez missed the shot to clear the ball and sent it into the goal.

It was the move that set the classic on fire. Palmeiras went on the attack to score the third and Cássio made a great save in a submission by Jhon Jhon. Corinthians took the lead to score the second goal. Paulinho had the tie ball at 39, but kicked over.

Next Wednesday (3), Palmeiras will visit Barcelona, ​​in Ecuador, for Libertadores.
