How the accident occurred

The full-back came on in the first half to replace another player, Ferreira, who was feeling pain in his thigh. While fighting for the ball shortly after coming on the field, he collided with another player, causing the accident. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the players from both teams asked for help from the paramedics on duty, who, upon seeing the scene, immediately treated the injured player.

The situation also caught the attention of Palmeiras fans, who, as a sign of respect, applauded the player. Due to this situation, assistant coach Maxi Cuberas promoted the entry of defender Alan Franco.

Confusion at the end of the game

The classic ended in confusion after two ball boys provoked São Paulo players after Palmeiras' second goal, celebrating in the technical area reserved for the visiting team, thus causing widespread confusion.

Then, the Tricolor and Alviverde players argued on the pitch, and the argument continued on the field. According to Klaus (the referee), Palmeiras midfielder Zé Rafael grabbed São Paulo player Rodrigo Nestor by the neck. Nestor then retaliated by punching his opponent in the face. Everything was watched by the VAR monitor.
