With a draw, Corinthians are crowned São Paulo state champions.

Corinthians Agency - On the afternoon of this Sunday (19), Corinthians visited Santos, at Vila Belmiro, and sought its 27th title in the Campeonato Paulista. Having won the first leg of the final 2-1, Timão only needed a draw to lift another trophy. Alvinegro used the advantage, drew 1-1 with a goal from Danilo and lifted another Paulistão cup.

The first good opportunity of the final was created by Santos in the eighth minute, with a shot from Felipe Anderson that went over Cássio's goal. Corinthians responded in the 20th minute when Emerson received a pass from Romarinho and shot across goal, but the ball went wide to the right of goalkeeper Rafael. In the 23rd minute, Felipe Anderson received the ball behind the Corinthians defense and shot, but Cássio made a good save.

Four minutes later, after a cross into the box, Cícero received the ball from Durval and opened the scoring for Santos. But the People's Team never falters. In the 29th minute, Danilo took advantage of the rebound from the goalkeeper after a shot by Paulinho and unleashed a powerful shot to equalize. The number 20 would only know it later, but it was this goal that secured the Paulista Championship title for Timão.

Corinthians almost extended their lead with a free kick from Paulinho in the 41st minute, but the number 8's shot hit the post. In the next play, Danilo cut past his marker and also hit the crossbar. On the rebound, Romarinho forced Rafael into a great save. Despite Corinthians' onslaught, the first half ended in a 1-1 draw.

27 times Corinthians

The 45 minutes that separated Corinthians from the title passed slowly for the crazy fans. The first scoring chance of the second half was created by the Parque São Jorge team, at 13 minutes, when Romarinho received a pass from Danilo and shot hard, but the opposing goalkeeper made a good save. The owner of the number 31 shirt had another opportunity four minutes later, when he was facing the goal, but hit the post.

At 35 minutes, Rodríguez received the ball inside the area and attempted a shot, but the ball was deflected and easily saved by Cássio. Six minutes later, Edenílson advanced down the right and found Pato inside the area, and the striker headed dangerously. The referee ended the match at 50 minutes, and the Corinthians fans could finally celebrate.

Corinthians wins the Campeonato Paulista for the 27th time. The Parque São Jorge team is the biggest champion in the history of the tournament. Timão's next commitment is the debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro, next Sunday (26), when they will host Botafogo at Pacaembu.
