With reservations, the São Paulo team left after failure, but became the game; Lusa has not yet won in Paulista
and made a match of a lot of balance for the fifth round of Paulistan. With reservations, the São Paulo team left after defensive failure. Merit also of the principal team, who pressured the opponent to try the first victory in the championship. André Silva, however, tied with a penalty. Both teams have even created more chances, alternating dominion at different times. The turn has come in the last few minutes, with opportunism of 18 -year -old boy Ryan Francisco. None of the teams had presented their intentions for the match, when one of the three towers of the Free Market Arena Pacaembu deleted, four minutes into the game. The duel, which is the first professional to take place at the stadium after the renovation, was paralyzed for seven minutes until the light returns.
The Portuguese came back better and even created chances. The score was opened, however, when the opportunity was given by São Paulo. Bobadilla received a pass from Santo Longo. The Paraguayan missed the ball and handed it to striker Renan Peixoto, who tore towards the goal. Jandrei still stumbled on the way out, which made his work difficult. Portuguese shirt 9 had nothing to do with it and scored.
This did not make the home team back. On the contrary, the team tried to expand. Only on 21 minutes, Sao Paulo arrived in the opposing area, when Erick finished on Alex Nascimento, who had his arm open. After revision at VAR, Matheus Candançan pointed to a penalty. André Silva hit well and tied.
Soon after, the São Paulo reserve team showed talent in table between Ferreirinha and André Silva. The attacker made the pivot and left Bobadilla in a position to finish. The Paraguayan was almost redeemed for the failure in the Portuguese goal, but the ball went out.
The draw cheered up São Paulo, who pressed the Portuguese in his defense field and created difficulties for the team to counterattack. The São Paulo, however, did not take advantage of the offensive presence to turn.
In the fate of finally winning, the Portuguese returned from the interval pressing. With 12 minutes, Fernando Henrique almost scored a great goal, with a middle bomb of the street, defended by Jandrei. The goalkeeper shortly afterwards went wrong in a replacement with his hands and exposed the São Paulo goal, but the opponents could not enjoy.
The Cauan de Almeida team showed tactical discipline on the ball, with beautiful pass exchanges that took them close to the attack. In the final third, however, the team had difficulty piercing the defense of Sao Paulo. Already the tricolor team suffered from a high marking of the opponent.
The exits of Hudson, Daniel Júnior and Jajá weakened the Portuguese, who started to create less. Sao Paulo took advantage. Ferreirinha finished and even took from goalkeeper Rafael Santos, but the ball hit the post. The pass to shirt 11 was given by the boy Thiaguinho, who entered without shyness to arm the São Paulo plays.
Like Ferreirinha, Erick became exhaust for new chances. The second half of the final stage showed superiority of the Sao Paulo team. Luis Zubeldía also promoted the entrances of the champions of Cup Lucas Ferreira and Ryan Francisco, already less than ten minutes to the end of the game, at a time that the two teams no longer pressed.
It was then that Ryan Francisco showed his difference and immediately took the opportunity that appeared. The top scorer of Copinha received launch at the entrance of the area, advanced and took Rafael Santos to give the victory to Sao Paulo.
São Paulo’s next appointment is the classic against Santos, in Vila Viva Luck, at 8:30 pm on Saturday. On the same day, but at 16h, the Portuguese receives Botafogo from Ribeirão Preto, again at Pacaembu.
