Broken glass, fans injured, lots of confusion and delays in getting the match started.
Prepare for the Sao Paulo-Corinthians, the Sao Paulo derby, and in any way outside the four lines.
Upon reaching Morumbi, at the end of a short but difficult journey to the stadium, the bus carrying the visiting team was hit by objects thrown by São Paulo fans and had many windows broken. “We had three or four windows broken, putting the athletes in danger,” declared the Corinthians president in remarks reproduced in the Brazilian press.
Duilio Monteiro Alves lamented that Timão’s entourage could not reach the stadium until about 50 minutes before the start time, despite the fact that the team was training in a neighborhood hotel very close to the stadium. “Isolation is not done well,” he charged.
The arrival of the Sao Paulo bus, which took place earlier, was in a festive atmosphere, with hundreds of torches lit and thousands of fans cheering for the team before the second leg of the Brazil Cup semi-final (Corinthians won the first match 2-1) but at least two fans were injured One of them is in serious condition.
The Sao Paulo-Corinthians match, which was scheduled for 11:30 p.m., started about 10 minutes late.
