There was a moment of showboating followed by several of chaos. Memphis Depay stood with both feet on the ball as Corinthians ticked towards glory in the Paulista A1 final against Palmeiras, sparking a mass brawl that eventually led to a player from each side sent off.

Gremio has turned a corner in their campaign, securing three consecutive wins, four clean sheets, and maintaining a solid defensive record, showing promise for upcoming matches.
