Corinthians vs Palmeiras Report
Corinthians lifted the Brazilian championship for the fifth time after fighting out a tense goalless draw with crosstown rivals Palmeiras on Sunday.
Brazilian giants Corinthians won their fifth Brazilian championship after fighting out a goalless draw with crosstown rivals Palmeiras at the Pacaembu stadium in Sao Paulo on Sunday. The title came on the same day as the death of Corinthians and Brazil soccer idol Socrates. Needing only a single point to guarantee themselves of the title on the final match day of the season, Corinthians did just this in a fiery derby that saw four men sent-off. Corinthians finished the season with 71 points from 38 matches, two points clear of closest rivals Vasco da Gama, who were held by Flamengo.
The match was played at a frantic pace, with Palmeiras coming closest to earning the three points when a Fernandao header struck the crossbar in the 71st minute. It was a typical derby, but its importance multiplied, as while Corinthians needed just a point to clinch the title, Palmeiras did their utmost to ruin their party.
