Sao Paulo suffered a turning defeat against Ponte Preta on Wednesday (19), 2-1, in the punished lawn of the Morumbis-Calleri opened the scoring in the first half, but Arthur and Éverton Brito gave the visitors to visit the visitors at Second stage.
The tricolor team field was damaged after the unique show performed by Colombian singer Shakira on the last day (13). Although most of the structure for the presentation was in an area behind one of the goals, wear within the four lines was higher than expected.
During the match for the Paulista Championship, it was possible to notice several excerpts where the grass was dead. Interestingly, the three goals of the match came out just on the side where the field was most impaired.
The space was covered with protections to save the field of being trampled. In general, the lawn usually supports well when it comes to a single presentation. Nevertheless, due to the time covered by the signs, without sunbathing and unable to breathe, the grass died.
Sao Paulo intends to change the lawn soon as their next game will be away from home, against São Bernardo, on the 23rd. The idea is to have the field in good condition for the state sequence.
Despite the defeat against Campinas team, the team led by Luis Zubeldía leads group C, with 16 points, one more than Novorizontino, the second place. Both teams are already classified for the next phase when they will face each other. Those who pass first will have the advantage of playing at home.
