Palmeiras won behind the scenes in deciding the dates and times of the Paulistão quarter-finals.
The choice of the São Paulo Football Federation to place Palmeiras in the opening of the Paulistão quarter-final games encouraged Palmeiras' management. Before the technical council, held this Monday afternoon (6), the chances are high that Verdão will end the match at this stage, playing next Monday (13). However, before the meeting, people linked to the Alviverde club, including president Leila Pereira, called the president of the FPF, Reinaldo Carneiro Bastos, and the organization's directors, so that the Palestrinos could play on Saturday (11). Thus, who will close the quarter-final games of the Campeonato Paulista will be São Paulo, who will face Água Santa. Tricolor has the right to control the field, but as it is giving up the Morumbi stadium for a show by the British band Coldplay, it will play at Allianz Parque.
