But while almost all the players were focused on Gustavo Henrique, who had been left unconscious after a dangerous entry Carlos Miguel, Palmeiras goalkeeper, Andreas Pereira took advantage of the situation to damage the penalty spot by trampling it with his studs.
As a result of his trick, when Memphis Depay (former Barcelona, Atlético or Manchester United) took the penalty, slipped before shooting and the ball went wide.
Double blow for Corinthians, since Palmeiras, with Vitor Roque in their ranks, ended up winning the match thanks to a goal in the 84th minute by the Argentine Jose Manuel Lopez. An away victory in which Andreas Pereira played a key role.
