The Choque-Rei was lukewarm, in general.
In the first half, especially, scoring chances were rare.
André Silva forced Weverton to make a save at the beginning of the classic, and Richard Ríos made a good individual play, but was unsuccessful in his attempt to chip Rafael.
In fact, what caught the most attention in the initial stage was a kite flying over Arena Barueri.
The Choque-Rei got a bit more exciting after the break.
Paulinho (6') unleashed a bomb for a good save by Rafael, and Ferreirinha (8') responded almost immediately, with a strong shot after a well-armed counter-attack. Weverton saved.

To not lose the habit, coach Abel Ferreira was expelled. The Portuguese coach got furious after Estêvão was pulled on the sideline, but the referee didn't give a foul.
Enzo Díaz (18') almost helped Palmeiras score an own goal, and Weverton prevented Oscar's goal (29') on the star's return after recovering from injury.
However, in stoppage time, Felipe Anderson shot from the entrance of the area, Rafael made a great save, but Vitor Roque picked up the rebound and scored.
The referee initially marked offside, but after VAR review, validated Tigrinho's third goal in the last three games.
