Matheus Bidu delivered one of the most bizarre own goals imaginable this Sunday, piling on the misery for Corinthians in their heated derby against rivals Palmeiras. This wasn’t just any goal; it was a head-scratcher that will haunt highlights reels for a long time.
What Even Happened on That Play?!
You won’t believe how this went down. Palmeiras’ Piquerez had the ball out on the left wing and sent a cross into the box. Here’s the kicker: it was an area with *only* Corinthians players. Like, zero Palmeiras attackers anywhere near it. But somehow, in that chaotic moment, Corinthians full-back Bidu got his wires completely crossed with teammate Raniele. Instead of clearing it, Bidu headed the ball straight into his *own* net, looping it right over his goalkeeper, Hugo Souza. You just had to see it to believe it.
Derby Day Disaster for Corinthians
And if that wasn’t bad enough, this wasn’t some isolated incident in a tight game. This own goal was Palmeiras’ third of the match. The hosts, playing at Nubank Parque, had already gone into halftime sitting pretty with a 2-0 lead. So Bidu’s blunder just twisted the knife even deeper, cementing a truly tough derby day for Corinthians.
What a brutal moment for Bidu and for Corinthians, especially on derby day. That’s a replay no one from the club will want to watch again.
