Hat-trick not enough as Palmeiras get thrashed in the Paulistão
In the opening of the fourth round of the Paulistão 2026, Palmeiras was thrashed by Novorizontino 4-0, away from home, this Tuesday (20).
Until then undefeated in the tournament and without conceding goals, tonight's result left Palmeiras with a NEGATIVE BALANCE (scored 3 goals and conceded 4).
This was the WORST DEFEAT of the Abel Ferreira era. The last time Verdão lost by four goals difference was in 2015.
The standout of the match was forward Robson, with three goals (20', 42', and 62').
The former Coritiba forward is even a "nemesis" of Palmeiras, with eight goals in nine games.
Hélio Borges (72') completed Novorizontino's rout, making the night a true nightmare for Palmeiras.
Current Standings
With the first defeat in Paulistão 2026, Palmeiras stalled at nine points and saw Novorizontino itself - also with nine points - occupy the second place.
RB Bragantino (nine points), which visits Mirassol this Wednesday (21), at 8 PM (Brasília time), can take the lead in the tournament.
Verdão returns to the field on Saturday (24), when they face São Paulo, at Arena Crefisa Barueri, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), for the fifth round.
Meanwhile, Novorizontino hosts Botafogo-SP on Sunday (25), at 6:30 PM (Brasília time).
