Palmeiras Take São Paulo Derby with Two Stunning Goals — and Two Chicken Heads

Palmeiras asserted dominance over their fiercest rivals Corinthians in the iconic São Paulo derby, claiming a 2–0 win at home in a match that had everything: goals, intensity, and bizarre fan theatrics.

The hosts settled the contest early. By the 19th minute, Joaquín Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez had each unleashed spectacular long-range efforts that found the back of the net, giving Palmeiras a commanding lead they would never surrender.

Despite boasting nearly double the possession, Corinthians failed to register a single shot on target — a stat that perfectly summed up their blunt attacking display. The loss adds to the pressure mounting on the São Paulo giants, who remain inconsistent in the early stages of the 2025 Brasileirão.

Two Goals, Two Chicken Heads

As if the football wasn’t spicy enough, the derby atmosphere was inflamed by an unusual fan stunt: two severed chicken heads were thrown onto the pitch by Palmeiras supporters — a pointed jab at Corinthians, whom they mockingly nickname "chickens" in Brazil’s rich tapestry of football rivalries.

Two goals, two symbolic gestures. It might be bizarre, but in Brazil, even derbies come with a dose of theatre.

With the win, Palmeiras strengthen their status as early title contenders, while Corinthians will be left to pick up the pieces — and perhaps duck the next poultry-themed provocation.
