With this result, São Paulo follows 12 points in 12th position and can finish the round near the relegation zone
It follows a campaign well below expectations and becoming closer to fighting so as not to give the shame of falling to Serie B for the first time in its history. This Saturday (24), the tricolor lost to Mirassol 2-0 in a duel valid for the tenth round of the Brasileirão. Gabriel scored the inaugural goal of the interior team at the beginning of the second half. In the final minutes, Reinaldo applied the ‘ex’ law and, on penalty, made the second. With this result, São Paulo follows 12 points in 12th position and can finish the round near the relegation zone. Mirassol goes to 14 points and rises to eighth.
The defeat maintains the poor performance of Sao Paulo playing at Morumbis in this Brasileirão, with only two wins (Grêmio and Santos), three draws (Fortaleza, Sport and Cruzeiro) and now his first defeat. In the first half, Luis Zubeldía’s team created little and saw until Mirassol created good chances, giving danger to Rafael’s goal. In the final stage, the interior team was offset by their effort. Edson Carioca broke into the area, kicked, Rafael eventually failed and rebounded on Gabriel’s feet, who only had the job of pushing the ball into the bottom of the net on 7 minutes.
At 43 of the second half, Chico Kim suffered Enzo Díaz penalty in the collection, Reinaldo, who played at the tricolor club for a decade, hit without chances for Rafael and celebrated dancing arrocha on the Morumbis flag. Sao Paulo returns to the field on Tuesday, at 19h (Brasilia), for the final round of the Libertadores group stage, in Morumbis, against Talleres. Already Mirassol play again only next Sunday, at home, against Sport, for Brasileirão, at 11am.
