📹 Abel under fire as Corinthians dump Palmeiras out, advance in Copa 🇧🇷 | OneFootball

At the Allianz Parque, Corinthians defeated Palmeiras 2 x 0 on Wednesday (6), in the second leg of the round of 16 in the Copa do Brasil.

In the aggregate, Timão advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 3 x 0 over their biggest rival.

Even in the opponent's home, Corinthians came in with "teeth bared".

Possibly, due to the support of the Fiel Torcida, who, before the classic, went to the CT Joaquim Grava to follow the departure of the bus to the stadium. The players even got off to thank the fans.

With the ball rolling, Palmeiras' situation became even more difficult when Aníbal Moreno thought he would get away with a headbutt on the opposing player.

After VAR review, referee Anderson Daronco gave a red card to the Argentine midfielder, leaving Verdão with one less player on the field.

In the end, after at least three good chances, Timão opened the score when Matheus Bidu appeared as a center forward under the crossbar to push for the goal.

Naturally, a Derby would already be tense. Worth a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, then, the mood was high.

One of Abel Ferreira's assistants, in fact, was expelled after the alvinegro goal and left firing against the refereeing.

After the break, Corinthians - much more relaxed on the field - extended the lead with Gustavo Henrique, heading the cross from Garro at the second post.

With the 3 x 0 in the aggregate, the rest of the final stage was just more confusion between the players, which even resulted in the expulsion of Abel Ferreira's second assistant.

In the stoppage time, Emiliano Martínez also stepped on Ángel Romero, who was down, and was also expelled.

🧐 Solidarity or hurry?

Yuri Alberto got injured and, as he was taking too long to leave the field, Palmeiras' defender Micael went to "help" the opponent.

🤯 Greater pressure

With the elimination, Palmeiras' fans spared no one.

The fans even cursed coach Abel Ferreira - one of the most victorious coaches in the club's history.

The revolt of the Palmeiras fans, in addition to the elimination itself, also has to do with the loss of the Paulista title to their biggest rival.

🚦 What's next
