Nov 5, 1933: Palestra Itália (Palmeiras) 8–0 Corinthians — still the biggest margin in São Paulo’s Dérbi. We place the rivalry alongside the world’s great derbies, tell the match (Romeu 4, Imparato 3, Gabardo 1), explain why it counted for two competitions, trace the Corinthians board fallout (and rumored HQ fire), and show how rare an 8–0 is in true derbies. Plus: 1974’s “É 21!”, Democracia Corinthiana, the 2018 VAR final, and even the 2024 pig’s-head incident.Tips/corrections: otd@17lawsguy.com
