Copa do Brasil 08: Palmeiras Humilated; Corinthians Moves On

By: Bruno Romani | May 1st, 2008

I don’t know to what extent doing well in the state championships can be good for clubs. Palmeiras is the virtual champion in São Paulo and last night fought for a spot in the quarter-finals of Copa do Brasil. The green team has been getting a lot of attention from the media and nice words from commentators. Sport, who is the champion in Pernambuco, could not care less. After the 0-0 in the first-leg in São Paulo, Sport humiliated Palmeiras with a sound 4-1. Midfielder Romerito got his hat-trick. At the end of the match, Luxemburgo was mad. Normal reaction from someone, like Brazilian journalist Juca Kfouri says, who makes a lot of money for winning just state championship.

On the other hand, Corinthians played in old-school fashion against Goiás last night. Nobody believed the “timão†could reverse the 3-1 of the first leg. 5o thousand fans showed up, and the first-half ended with a 3-0. The final score was 4-0, and surprisingly Corinthians is in the quarter-finals of Copa do Brasil. Not bad for who just got relegated.

This is what the quarter finals look like:

Corinthians x São Caetano
Vasco x Corinthians-AL
Internacional x Sport
Atlético-MG x Botafogo
