After the interval, Corinthians - with a practically all-reserve team - improved a lot on the field.
In the beginning of the second half, Talles Magno (7') activated Matheus Bidu, who, even without an angle, finished crossed and sent under the legs of goalkeeper Rafael Santos to leave everything equal.
Ten minutes later, Talles Magno was knocked down by a tackle from Gustavo Talles in the area. The same white attacker (19') took the penalty, displacing the goalkeeper to decree the turnaround of Timão.
But Lusa didn't give up. Gustavo Talles made a good play on the right and hit a cross in the area, where Maceió (28') took it first to equalize the traditional classic.

Newcastle Or Man United! Which club will Benjamin Sesko choose?
Whole English football media knows that there is an immense battle between Newcastle United and Manchester United for the signature of Benjamin Sesko (current striker of RB Leipzig). By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 31, 2025, 10:01 IST Last updated July 31, 2025, 10:01 IST The English football media is buzzing as a major transfer battle unfolds between Newcastle United and Manchester United for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old has shown immense potential in the Bundesliga, and both Premier League clubs are in advanced talks to secure his signature. Reliable journalists Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein have confirmed that the decision now lies solely with Sesko. Interestingly, despite Newcastle offering UEFA Champions League football next season, reports suggest the Magpies are beginning to fear that the Slovenian forward may choose Manchester United instead.

On the other hand, Sesko is also believed to be carefully weighing his future, with Newcastle's Champions League spot providing a tempting opportunity to showcase himself at the highest level. As things stand, Sesko has not made his final decision, and speculation continues to swirl.

Memphis wins historic derby, VAR in spotlight in Copa do Brasil 🇧🇷
The first derby in the history of the Copa do Brasil ended with a victory for Corinthians on Wednesday night (30). The VAR changed the on-field decision, a penalty was saved, and Memphis secured the 1 x 0 at the Neo Química Arena. It was the first leg of the round of 16 in the knockout competition. Whoever advances to the next round will secure R$ 4.7 already in the 1st half 🔥 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. Attempts, Memphis and more VAR Most of the second half saw a Palmeiras better handling the ball. Corinthians tried - unsuccessfully - to attack against a well-positioned rival. Then the first good move from Dorival's team in the 2nd half resulted in a goal. Perfect cross from Matheuzinho and freedom for Memphis to score (33'). The Palmeiras reaction was almost immediate. But there was confusion and then an offside call. Palmeiras tried, but failed to equalize. 📊 Table and schedule 📅 The return match will be next Wednesday (6). With Allianz as the stage. Corinthians has the advantage of a draw. Palmeiras needs to win by two goals difference to advance in regular time. A one-goal victory for Palmeiras will lead to a penalty shootout. Both will play again on Sunday (3), for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. Corinthians (11th) will face Red Bull Bragantino (5th) at Itaquera. While Palmeiras (3rd) will be a visitor against Vitória (15th). Photo: Cesar Greco/Palmeiras This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
