Palmeiras held to goalless draw by stubborn Internacional
Palmeiras and Internacional played out a scoreless draw at Nubank Parque in round 22 of the Brasileirão Série A, with the leaders unable to find a breakthrough against a resolute visiting defence. No goals and no red cards featured across the ninety minutes, leaving both sides to share the points in a fixture that had promised more given the gulf between them in the table.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Palmeiras dominated territory and chances throughout, racking up 21 shots to Internacional's eight and controlling 62 percent of possession, yet found Emiliano Martínez unmoving between the posts. Internacional, sitting 15th before kick-off, offered little in attack but stayed disciplined, conceding just five corners and restricting the hosts to three shots on target despite the constant pressure.
The visitors picked up three yellow cards to Palmeiras' one as the game grew increasingly physical, with 16 fouls committed by Internacional against 11 from the hosts. Ferreira Abel's side could not convert their territorial superiority into a breakthrough, and the draw did little to change the destination of momentum at the top of the standings, where Palmeiras remain first with 48 points from 22 matches.
Martínez was the standout figure in goal for Internacional, earning a rating of 8.0 as his side held firm against sustained Palmeiras pressure.
Palmeiras' 21 shots to Internacional's eight underlined how one-sided the contest was in terms of attacking threat, even without a goal to show for it.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Palmeiras 74%, the draw 19%, Internacional 7%. It finished Palmeiras 0–0 Internacional.
Palmeiras' rating gap decides it — Palmeiras are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top makes it one-sided for Palmeiras. The draw at 19% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Palmeiras at 74%?
Palmeiras sit 272 points higher on our strength rating — 1919 to 1647. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,913 such games. Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (27.0% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (24.8% vs 30.2%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.2% of 4,388 games vs 44.9% across all 98,904 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 71–18–11.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 74% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 19% and Internacional at 7%.
Why is the draw only 19%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 18.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,878. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.1 points. The goals environment takes 1.8 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Palmeiras average 13 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 272 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Last 6 between them: Palmeiras 4 wins, 1 draw, Internacional 1 win. Most recently Internacional 1–3 Palmeiras, 6 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5032 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
