Derby campineiro is the name given to the Guarani Futebol Clube and Associação Atlética Ponte Preta football rivalry, both clubs from Campinas, in the State of São Paulo. It is considered the biggest derby of the interior of Brazil and is the oldest rivalriy of the state.[1] The main attribute of the fixture is its balanced statistics.[2]

History

The first derby of all time, on 24 March 1912, has an unknown result.[1] The second match, on 19 May 1912, ended in a 2–1 Ponte Preta win in a Campeonato Campineiro match.

The fourth fixture, on 23 August 1914, was a "challenge" held on the Parque Arraialense field, in the "District of Sousas". After Guarani's 2–0 win, Macaca fans and directors began writing to the newspapers blaming their defeat on the referee, as the Bugrinos responded, creating great controversy, with mutual offenses.

Two years later, on 21 May, the tension between the two teams reached its peak. The Campeonato Campineiro match at the hippodrome of Campinas and ended in a fight, involving players and fans of both clubs. Guarani won by 2–0.

On 26 September 1948, in the first derby of Moisés Lucarelli, Ponte Preta's stadium, Guarani won 1–0.

On 7 June 1953, in the first derby of Brinco de Ouro, Guarani's stadium, Ponte Preta won 3–0.

In 1981, Guarani and Ponte Preta clashed in the finals of the first stage of the Campeonato Paulista, whose winner would directly qualify to the finals of the championship. After a 1–1 draw at Brinco de Ouro, Ponte Preta won 3–2 at Moisés Lucarelli and took the final. This match was considered the most important of the derby at the time.[3]

In 2012, when the fixture completed 100 years of history, the two Campinas teams encoutered in the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista. In a single match at Brinco de Ouro, Bugre made a comeback and won 3–1, thus advancing to the finals.[4]
