📹 With a stunner and errors, Corinthians win hard-fought derby v São Paulo

Corinthians beat São Paulo 3-2 at Neo Química Arena this Sunday (10), in the 15th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

Despite the relentless rain in Itaquera, the Majestoso was fiery!

Raniele was the one who opened the scoring for Timão.

But the midfielder made a mistake playing out from the back “Diniz-style” inside the box, and saw Bobadilla set up Luciano to level it.

During the Tricolor celebration, there was confusion and shoving between the rivals on the pitch.

And, to cap off the first half with a “golden key,” referee Anderson Daronco had to explain the VAR decision that Bobadilla had not made an obscene gesture during the celebration.

After an unbelievable 23-minute halftime break, the ball started rolling again in Itaquera.

And Corinthians completely dominated the derby.

Right at the start of the second half, right-back Matheuzinho “channeled Robben,” left the Tricolor defender on the ground, and unleashed a rocket to make it 2-1 for Timão.

With São Paulo completely dominated and shaken, Corinthians extended the lead through Breno Bidon, who struck from the edge of the box, leaving Rafael with no chance.

For the rest of the match, Corinthians controlled the action, but ended up getting a scare in the final minutes with a bizarre own goal by Matheuzinho.
