São Paulo seeks a comeback and eliminates Palmeiras again – 07/13/2023 – Sport

With a 2-1 comeback victory, São Paulo eliminated Palmeiras from the Copa do Brasil this Thursday (13th) and advanced to the semifinals of the competition.

After winning the first match by 1-0, at Morumbi, the tricolor team was behind at Allianz Parque, in a bid in which Piquerez tried to cross, but surprised goalkeeper Rafael. After the break, however, the visitors managed to react. Caio Paulista and David balanced the net and decreed the turning point of São Paulo.

The tricolors still complained a lot about a goal annulled by Anderson Daronco when the duel was already tied by 1-1. Daronco consulted the video before confirming his decision.

Now, São Paulo will wait for the winner of the confrontation between Corinthians and América Mineiro. In the first game, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0 at home. The return match will take place on Saturday (15), at the Neo Química Arena, in Itaquera.

In the other bracket, Grêmio and Flamengo will face each other after eliminating, respectively, Bahia and Athletico Paranaense.

After the incident, the authorities announced an increase in the security scheme for this Thursday’s game for the Copa do Brasil. More municipal and police agents will be close to the stadium for the match and enforcement will be reinforced to comply with the law that prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages within a radius of 200 meters from the venue.

A Sheetthe City of São Paulo said that the sub-prefecture “only reiterated” the norm enacted by law of 1996.

Despite being a single crowd game, as has been the regional classics in São Paulo since 2016, the Military Police and the State Public Security Secretariat consider it a “risky match, due to the strong rivalry between the teams”. The number of officers who will be employed has not been disclosed.

Shortly before the ball rolled and with the presence of Gabriella’s parents in the stadium, a minute of silence was respected in honor of the fan. Palmeiras fans also displayed a banner with the inscription “Eternal Gabi”.
