In São Paulo, the rivalry between Palmeiras and Corinthians has spilled from the pitch into the social-media feed, with Verdão drawing a pointed contrast between two recent continental moments.
A derby-flavoured comparison
Palmeiras used an excerpt from a song associated with Corinthians’ Dutch forward Memphis Depay in a video post comparing his missed chance against Estudiantes with Vitor Roque’s finish against Liga de Quito.
- Depay was shown reacting with frustration after failing to score against Estudiantes.
- Vitor Roque appeared celebrating after scoring against Liga de Quito.
- The Palmeiras post used the musical reference to sharpen the comparison between the two incidents.
Two nights, one social-media message
The clip placed Depay’s disappointment alongside Vitor Roque’s successful moment in front of goal, turning separate matches into another small chapter of the São Paulo rivalry. Palmeiras’ message centred on the difference between a missed opportunity and a decisive finish.
