It was previously scheduled for 16:00, the match was moved to 21:30.

Without the change, Verdão will depart at the same time as América-MG x Internacional. The gauchos are the only ones who can stop the Palmeiras party. On the other hand, if Inter do not beat the miners, Palmeiras will remain champions in focus in the match of the night.

During the afternoon of Friday (28), the CBF published the change in the Inter match at 21:30. However, soon after, the entity took the page off the air.

The document states that the game time can be changed up to five days before its start date. That is, the application submitted by Globo to the CBF complies with this deadline.

But with over 15,000 tickets sold out by 6:00 p.m. Friday (28), Palmeiras offered to compensate fans unable to attend the stadium with a timely change. Requests can be submitted up to 24 hours before departure.

The report, together with the other parties involved in the two matches, found that Inter did not accept the change, and therefore, the entity returned the duel that will be held in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the original time.
