Bidu own goal echoes Palmeiras-Corinthians mistake from 1998
Palmeiras beat Corinthians 4-1 in a match on Sunday, October 11.
Early in the second half, Corinthians defender Matheus Bidu headed a cross from Piquerez into his own team’s net.
The goal recalled another own goal in a Palmeiras-Corinthians derby in March 1998.
Then, Palmeiras striker Oséas headed the ball into his own net after a corner, giving Corinthians a goal.
Palmeiras later equalised through Cris, and the match ended 1-1.
Bidu’s goal stands out because it repeated that unusual derby moment, but this time Palmeiras went on to win by three goals.
Matheus Bidu scored an own goal for Palmeiras in a 4-1 win over Corinthians on Sunday, October 11.
The goal came in the first minute of the second half, when Bidu headed a cross from Piquerez into the right corner of Corinthians goalkeeper Hugo Souza’s goal.
The own goal echoed one scored by Palmeiras forward Oséas against Corinthians in a 1998 derby.
That 1998 match ended 1-1 after Palmeiras equalised with a headed goal by substitute Cris.
