Alisson was the author of the goal that gave the victory to Tricolor; result puts the team in the first position of group D
São Paulo went to Cordoba, Argentina, to make his debut at Libertadores of 2025, and came out with a 1-0 win over the home owners on Wednesday (2). Although the club’s performance was below, something that has been common in the last games of Sao Paulo, has achieved a good result and took the lead of group D, with 3 points, the same as Libertad. The opponent was a known come, the Talleres, the same team in which Tricolor faced in the first round of the 2024 competition. Living a bad moment, eliminated from Paulistan in the semifinal, and coming from a draw with Sport in the first round of Brasileirão, Sao Paulo went to the game pressed, and with Luis Zubeldía loved. On the other side, Talleres, also does not live its best moment. In the year, they won no game at home, and came from 11 matches without winning.
For this first game of America’s main competition, São Paulo cannot count on Lucas Moura, one of its main injured players. On the other hand, there was the return of Oscar, who was not in the Brazilian debut game either, being recovering from discomfort. The teams played a weak game, without any great play and with little creation. The first goal kick in the game was only happening after 29 minutes, in a kick from the Argentine team. Portillo sent from outside the area and Rafael defended. The best move in Sao Paulo, who even not acting well could control the opponents, came 34 minutes into a speed play by Ferreirinha, but who could not find the goal, was locked before continuing the move.
It was from the feet of the striker of São Paulo that originated in the goal of Calleri. Ferreira found Oscar, who crossed to the Tricolor 9 shirt, which lost no chance and sent to the back of the goal, but the referee scored an offside and annulled the goal that would place the Argentine as the top scorer of Sao Paulo in Libertadores with 15 goals. With annulment, the match was for the tied break without goal.
On the way back to the final stage, Zubeldía chose not to move and put the same team that started the confrontation. Unlike the first half, Talleres began to look for the game and get more offensive, while São Paulo faced difficulties to create plays and arrive in the opponent area. At 20 minutes, Zubeldía had to change because Oscar felt and had to leave. Luciano entered the place. Even with the change, who was still better was the home team, which had two chances from outside the area, but did not score. In the third arrival of Sao Paulo at the goal throughout the match, Tricolor managed to go to the networks. Alisson sent a left -handed kick to the area and scored, leaving São Paulo the advantage. That was his first goal in Tempora.
In the next move, Talleres almost reached the draw goal in a goal against. The Argentines charged corner and Alan Franco, defender of São Paulo, headed back and the ball hit the crossbar, assuming the São Paulo. Even with the advantage on the scoreboard, the team from São Paulo faced difficulties to control the game and took pressure from the Argentines, who wanted to secure a point indoors so as not to start the championship at a disadvantage. But despite the pressure, he could not score and was defeated.
