After Palmeiras beat Corinthians, midfielder Andreas Pereira laughed off a controversial moment when he stomped on the penalty spot before Memphis Depay's kick. He said he was just 'cleaning his boots' and that such things happen in football.
The incident is under review by TJD‑SP and Pereira could face a charge. Palmeiras' victory over Internacional lifted them to the top of the Brasileirão, and they remain runner‑up in the Paulistão.
