The first tense moment came at 15 minutes, with Memphis and Gustavo Gómez as the protagonists.
At first, Wilton Pereira Sampaio did not call a foul by the Palmeiras captain.
But he was called to review the play while observing the Corinthians' number 10 showing the effects of the tackle received.
Wilton went to the monitor and came back with the decision: penalty by the Palmeiras captain and a yellow card for him.
The Corinthians fans' celebration was not complete thanks to Weverton, who made a good save from Yuri Alberto's penalty.
Palmeiras improved towards the end of the first half.
And only didn't score thanks to André Ramalho.

Monday Leaderboard: Rory McIlroy's self-declared playoff bye is not great for the PGA Tour
Welcome to the Monday Leaderboard, where we run down the weekend's top stories in the wonderful world of golf. Grab an Arnold Palmer, pull up a chair and get ready for the playoffs … unless you're the defending Masters champion, that is. Rory McIlroy creates his own playoff bye Imagine if an NFL team could decide it just felt like skipping ahead to the next round of the playoffs. Or if a past Masters champion decided he'd rather not play on Thursday and jump straight to Friday. Seems a little absurd, right? Sure, playoff byes do exist in other sports, but you generally don't get to make that call once the playoffs actually begin. But that's exactly what Rory McIlroy is doing this year at the FedEx Cup playoffs, skipping the first round at TPC Southwind in Memphis to prepare for next week's BMW Championship. To be clear: from a competitive perspective, this is entirely the right move for McIlroy. He's ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings, more than 800 points ahead of third-place Sepp Straka, and he hasn't performed well in Memphis in the past. So there's not much to play for, making a self-declared bye not just understandable, but a wise decision. McIlroy is a three-time FedEx Cup champion, most recently in 2022, so he knows what he's doing here. The real issue is the playoff format that permits such a possibility. As long as there's been a FedEx Cup playoff, there's been tinkering with the format; a multi-tournament playoff system that rewards season-long excellence while providing opportunity for postseason charges is a tough challenge to create from both mathematical and competitive perspectives. This isn't quite as bad as, say, 2008, where Vijay Singh had locked up the title before the Tour Championship even began, but still ... having a marquee player be able to nope his way out of an entire tournament and still stay in the hunt seems rather contrary to the aim of the entire enterprise. Nelly's reign ends For much of 2024, Nelly Korda owned women's golf, winning seven times and standing toe-to-toe with fellow world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. But 2025 hasn't gone quite so well for Korda, with exactly zero wins to date. As a result, she's projected to lose the No. 1 status she's held for the last 17 months after a T36 finish at the AIG Women's British Open. Jeeno Thitikul, who held the No. 1 slot for two weeks in 2022, will retake the top spot. At least Korda has her cameo as a parole officer in 'Happy Gilmore 2' to lean on this year. Small steps. Bank-shot ace! Check this out: Mimi Rhodes pulled off a nifty bank-shot ace over the weekend at the AIG … Rhodes banked her ball off that of her playing partner Steph Kyriacou, who had dropped her tee shot on the par-3 5th within two inches of the cup. Rhodes would go on to finish T19 after a final round of 74, but she'll always have that ace to remember. Cam Young: Mr. 1,000 Somehow, Cam Young — 2021-22 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, author of top-10 finishes in all four majors, top-15 player on the planet — had not yet won a PGA Tour event … until Sunday. Young absolutely annihilated the Wyndham Championship, winning by six strokes and potentially playing himself into Ryder Cup contention. He's also the 1,000th different winner on the PGA Tour, which is a strange stat but notable nonetheless. Charley Hull's near-masterpiece Speaking of 'Happy Gilmore 2' cameo stars, Charley Hull nearly pulled off a comeback for the ages in the AIG. Miyu Yamashita captured the lead on Friday and never surrendered it, but Hull almost pulled off a magnificent 11-shot comeback. A long birdie at 14 pulled Hull to within one of Yamashita, but then Hull bogeyed 16 and 17 to end her comeback bid. Still, she's clearly rebounded from injury and illness of recent weeks. Light 'em up! PGA Tour: FedEx St. Jude Championship (Memphis, FedEx Cup Playoffs); LPGA: hiatus; LIV Golf: Chicago; PGA Tour Champions: Boeing Classic (Washington).

Little Silver golf sensation Chris Gotterup debuting at FedExCup and $100 million jackpot
Having established himself as one of the top young golfers in the world over the past month, Little Silver's Chris Gotterup heads into the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs with a chance to win a championship. The 26-year-old Gotterup will be in the field at this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship, at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, the first of three playoff events that conclude with the Tour Championship in Atlanta Aug. 21-24. Gotterup, who won the Scottish Open last month before finishing third at the British Open, is in his second season on the PGA Tour, with the former Rutgers star finishing No. 23 in year-long FedExCup points race, qualifying for the postseason for the first time. More: 'It was spectacular': Legendary Shore golf coach reacts to Chris Gotterup winning Scottish Open The top 70 players in the points standings are eligible for the playoffs, featuring a progressive cut with fields of 70 (FedEx St. Jude Championship), 50 (BMW Championship) and 30 (TOUR Championship). The FedExCup bonus distribution total is $100 million, with the champion earning $10 million. Gotterup, who won a Shore Conference Tournament title playing for CBA, has had a breakout season in 2025, with nearly $3.9 million in earnings so far. It brings his career earnings to $5.7 million, having won twice. One of the most impressive stats is that he's fourth overall in scoring average at 69.2. He's also one of the longest hitters on Tour, ranking No. 9 in driving distance at 316.3 yards, and ranks second in greens in regulation. With a good showing in the playoffs, Gotterup could earn himself a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup squad, which takes on the European team at Bethpage Black on Long Island in September.

Titans add UFL defensive lineman Josiah Bronson
Veteran defensive lineman Josiah Bronson is the latest player to parlay a stint in the UFL into another shot in the NFL. The Titans announced that they have signed Bronson, who most recently played for the UFL's Memphis Showboats during their spring 2025 season. Although most UFL players don't make it to the NFL, the spring minor league has served as a springboard for several players who had previous NFL shots to get another one. Bronson has spent time with the Saints, Browns, Cowboys, Dolphins, Patriots and Colts in the NFL, appearing in a total of eight NFL games. The Titans released defensive lineman Devonte O'Malley to make room for Bronson on the roster.
