Corinthians faced Palmeiras on the evening of Wednesday, August 31, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, and drew with a score of 1 x 1. The Corinthians goal was scored by the left-back Piquerez (own goal). With the result, the Alvinegro now occupies the 12th position in the national tournament with 26 points (six wins, eight draws, and eight losses – 23 goals scored and 28 conceded).
As a result, Corinthians will conclude a season with more victories in direct encounters against Palmeiras for the first time since 2019. In that year, there was one victory for the club from Parque São Jorge (1 x 0 at Allianz Parque – Paulistão) and two other draws (1 x 1 in both rounds of the Brazilian Championship).
