Palestra and Corinthians played on Christmas, at the recently built Parque Antarctica, in a match that ended in a 3–0 win for the palestrinos and gave the title to Paulistano.

In the first match, at the Palestra Itália Stadium, the palestrinos won 1–0, with Corinthians leaving the field on the 31st minute of the second half, complaining of a foul on their goalkeeper.

In early July of that year, just after the 1938 World Cup, a financial crisis made São Paulo create a friendly tournament, called Taça Mündell Júnior, in order to raise money to solve part of their problems.

As a way to keep the football teams in the state active in an official competition, APEA created the II Campeonato Paulista Extra — the first edition was in 1926 — which ended up being decided between Palestra Itália and Corinthians.

[19] In the period of greatest turmoil in the history of Palestra Itália, during the Second World War, when the club was forced to change its name due to the laws of the Vargas Dictatorship against associations that made references to the countries of the Axis,[20] Corinthians was constantly victorious in the derbies.

[21] After Palmeiras won its first title in their first game with their current name, defeating São Paulo and winning the 1942 Campeonato Paulista, in a match that became known as the "Arrancada Heroica", they still had to face Corinthians in the last round of the championship.

At the Pacaembu Stadium, Corinthians and Palmeiras played a historic friendly match that aimed to raise funds for the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB).

Corinthians, which were harshly criticized due to their long time without winning any title and their poor start in the championship, were up against a strong Palmeiras side, with Leão, Luís Pereira, Dudu and Ademir da Guia.

The alvinegros had not won a Campeonato Paulista in 20 years, and were now comprising players like Rivellino, Vaguinho and Zé Maria, and also the overwhelming majority of the 120,522 fans that were at the Morumbi in the second leg.

At the end of the match, the supporters of Palmeiras at the stadium started chanting "It's 21", mocking their rivals for their 20 years streak without winning any trophy, which after those finals, extended to 21.

[26] In the 1979 Campeonato Paulista, Palmeiras was led by coach Telê Santana and were appointed as the favorites to win the championship, sp due to the good campaign in the first phase.

In the second leg, played on January 30, Biro-Biro scored the winning goal for Corinthians with his shin, thus eliminating Palmeiras and paving the way to Timão's title in that year.

[27] In 1982, during Palmeiras' long streak without winning any titles and the height of the Corinthians Democracy, the alvinegros defeated their rivals by the largest goal different in their history in the fixture.

[28] In the second match, also played at the Morumbi Stadium, Palmeiras repeated the tactic of trying to stop the midfielder, but this time, the player managed to move more easily and scored the winning goal for Timão.

Timão ended up winning 1–0, with a goal from striker Cláudio Adão, scored with his heel, preventing the alviverdes from making to the finals against São Paulo, and extending their streak without trophies.

According to the rules of the Campeonato Paulista of that year, Palmeiras, who had the best campaign in the first phase, needed to win the second leg of the final in order to take the match to extra time.

That is because Corinthians won the first game 1–0, with a goal from Viola, who celebrated imitating a pig, their rivals' mascot, provoking the opposing crowd and players.

With the opening of a great advantage over the archrival, Palmeiras entered quietly in the second match and won their eighth title of the Brazilian League on December 18 with a 1-1 draw against Corinthians.

The teams reached the finals of the Paulista Championship that year, and the two decisive matches were played in Ribeirão Preto, at the Santa Cruz Stadium.

In the first game, played on June 13, alviverde spared the titleholders, as he would have, three days later, the decision against Colombia's Deportivo Cali for the Copa Libertadores final.

With controversial arbitration by judge Paulo César de Oliveira, alviverde played most of the match with one player less, as defender Danilo was sent off for a violent cart over the forward Corinthians Liédson.

Despite the adversity and also the expulsion of coach Luis Felipe Scolari, Palmeiras dominated the match and scored the first goal, in the 7th minute of the second half, with defender Leandro Amaro.

At Estádio do Pacaembu, Corinthians and Palmeiras played a tense game, with two expulsions on each side, but without goals, while Vasco and Flamengo drew 1-1 in Rio de Janeiro.

In the week leading up to the duel for the first phase of the 2015 Campeonato Paulista, due to the fear of violence among rival organized fans, the Public Ministry tried to impose its will to play the game with the only home crowd, a wish that was also of the president.

After the president of Corinthians, Mario Gobbi, threatened not to play the match, the São Paulo Football Federation went back and allocated the load of tickets to the alvinegro.

The match, which was played on May 31 and had goals scored by Rafael Marques and Zé Roberto, also made Palmeiras break a fast of victories over the archrival that lasted since August 2011.

In the second match that marked the centenary year, Corinthians defeated Palmeiras once again, this time 2-0 and at Allianz Parque, for the first round of the 2017 Brazilian Championship, with goals from Jadson and Guilherme Arana.

With goals from Romero, Balbuena and Jô, the black-and-whites won the derby by 3–2, as Mina and Moisés scored for Porco, in a game that set the record for the most club appearances in the Corinthians Arena.

The final at Allianz Parque was also marked by controversial decisions by the referee Marcelo Aparecido Ribeiro de Souza, who canceled a penalty for Palmeiras, at the second half.
