# Palmeiras and São Paulo FC club developments > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/palmeiras-and-so-paulo-fc-club-developments > Updated: 2026-09-14T01:01:11.000Z. Sources: 63. Developments: 3. In the 27th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, Palmeiras defeated São Paulo 2-0 in the Choque-Rei derby at Nubank Parque. The victory allows Palmeiras to temporarily reclaim the league lead with 56 points, placing them two points ahead of Flamengo, depending on the outcome of Flamengo’s match against Corinthians. The match was significantly impacted by a first-half red card shown to São Paulo’s Osorio following a VAR review of a challenge on Piquerez. Palmeiras utilized the numerical advantage to secure the win, with Murilo scoring late in the first half and Vitor Roque doubling the lead early in the second half, following a defensive error by Pablo Maia. Following the match, specialists debated the refereeing criteria regarding the red card, noting “potential inconsistencies in how fouls were judged.” Both clubs entered the derby facing distinct pressures. Palmeiras competed without manager Abel Ferreira, who was serving a three-match suspension, with assistant João Martins leading the technical staff. Martins noted that while the team has struggled with clinical finishing, the result was vital for their title ambitions. The club is now preparing for their Libertadores quarter-final second leg against LDU. São Paulo, which remains in 10th place with 33 points, fielded a rotated squad under manager Dorival Júnior to manage fatigue ahead of their decisive Copa Sudamericana fixture against Boca Juniors. Júnior defended the decision to use reserves, stating it was a strategic move to prioritize the continental match. He also noted that striker Calleri was rested to avoid aggravating a lingering ankle injury. Despite the loss, São Paulo attacker Ferreirinha received positive internal evaluations from the club's technical staff and leadership for his offensive contributions. The loss leaves São Paulo only five points away from the relegation zone as the club continues to navigate internal financial difficulties regarding delayed salary payments. ## Claims - Palmeiras and São Paulo will face each other on Saturday, September 12, at 18:30 at Nubank Parque.
