In 1945, the arch-rivals came together for a political cause. In a historic match held at the Pacaembu Stadium, Corinthians and Palmeiras played a classic that aimed to raise funds for the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB). The game ended with a 3-1 win by alviverde and was portrayed years later in the book "Palmeiras x Corinthians 1945: O Jogo Vermelho", written by politician Aldo Rebelo.
