On the other hand, this was Dorival Junior’s first game against his former team. The coach left Sao Paulo in January 2024 to take over the Brazilian team, a position that was until March, when he was fired after Brazil’s defeat to Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers. Sao Paulo has already started the game with absences. This is because during warming, Enzo Díaz did not feel well and need to be changed in the day. Wendell entered his place. The player, since he arrived in the tricolor team, has not been able to establish himself in the team or conquer the tricolor. But in today’s match, he was important in creating both goals.
The first half was and the total domain of São Paulo, with Luciano making the name of the game. The tricolor, which about cast injuries, lost Oscar 15 minutes into the first half. The player felt his back and had to be replaced. Without one of the team leaders, Luciano took over and represented. In the two concrete chances that had to swing the nets, did not waste. In the first, he received the pass from André Silva and crashed, opening the scoring for the owners of the house. Two minutes later he scored the second. From this the play began after an Arboleda pass, which Felix Torres failed and Wendel took the opportunity to cross Luciano, who was faster than goalkeeper Hugo and killed the goalkeeper from the play, diverting the ball to the back of the goal, indeedly.
In the first half, the only arrival of Corinthians was when the game was still zero to zero. Memphis Depay found a pass in the middle of the tricolor defense to Romero, who came out in the face of the goal. In the kick, Rafael made a spectacular defense and avoided what could have changed the first stage of the match. On the way back to the final stage Corinthians made three changes, took Depay, Martinéz and Feliz Torres, and placed Gui Negão, Leo Maná and Raniele. The changes, however, had no effect and although the Alvinegro showed a reaction at the beginning of the second half, he was soon dominated by Sao Paulo again, who continued to create opportunities and danger to Hugo’s goal. Unhappy with the game, Dorival moved once again, put Talles Magno and Angileri looking to try a reaction.
Curly, looking to maintain the result, also moved. He put Ferreira and Pablo Maia, and took André Silva and Bobadilla. Betting on the counterattack of Ferreira, which has been tempted to gain pace of play after recovering from injury. The Argentine stirred more on the team, took Luciano, who was ovarianing, and placed Chilean Tapia, a newcomer who recently arrived from River Plate loan. He also took Alan Franco and put Sabino. At the end of the game Raniele managed to find a header after a corner kick, but Rafael was better and defended what could have been the Corinthian goal.
