Calleri makes two and Sao Paulo opens the gap

More than 60,000 people from Sao Paulo who were in attendance at Morumbi tonight (30) went crazy as they approached the two-time Sao Paulo tournament that hadn’t happened in 30 years. In the first match of the final against Palm treesOh Sao Paulo He and Jonathan Callery are once again crucial to beating the opponent in a 3 to 1 ratio and unlocking a good decision advantage.

The Argentine was responsible for opening and closing the score at Morumbi. Young Pablo Maia, who kicked again from outside the area, scored the other goal for Sao Paulo. As Morumbi exploded with advantage, Rafael Vega lowered, giving Palmeiras hope of going home.

The day before the first match of the final, Rogerio Ceni said that the support of the fans would be important for Sao Paulo to balance the dispute against Palmeiras, who named him the best player. Show since before the ball is rolled in response to the coach’s request. Morumbi exploded at every goal and shivered under the pressure of Sao Paulo with every Palmeiras attack or referee’s decision.

Palmeiras now needs to pick up the pieces and try to reverse the situation at home. Abel Ferreira’s side would need to win by three goals to win the cup, or two goals to take the match to a penalty shootout. Sao Paulo could lose with a goal from the defect that leaves Allianz Parque in the second championship.

After a lot of fighting behind the scenes, the second match of the final will take place next Sunday (3), at 4 pm (GMT), at Allianz Parque.

Live from Palmeiras

Best: Jonathan Calleri (São Paulo)

The number 9 shirt in every game shows the importance of his signature last season. In addition to Sao Paulo’s two crucial goals to enter the second game in a comfortable position, Calleri was instrumental in upsetting Palmeiras’ defense. The Argentine put a lot of effort into Murillo and Gustavo Gomez.

Worst: Murillo (Palmeiras)

The Palmeiras defender’s performance was extremely insecure, he was unable to anticipate almost any move, and seemed frightened, he was very bureaucratic when helping to build plays. Calleri imposed himself physically and did not give the defender a break. To crown this bad night, the ball still deflected him from the second goal.

Game timeline

São Paulo had more ball throughout the first half, but Palmeiras, even in the corner, knew how to manage the size of the home team, without risking too much. Until 49, in a modest movement to the left, Wellington crossed and the ball hit Marcos Rocha’s hand. The VAR called up referee Douglas Marques das Flores, who took the penalty, and Calleri hit it well: 1 to 0.

In the second stage, Palmeiras had less creativity, and it didn’t take Sao Paulo, the match leader, long to convert volume into a goal. At the age of nineteen, Pablo Maya, unmarked, tapped the ball at the entrance to the Palmeiras area and hit hard to make it 2 to 0. The ball veered into Murillo and killed Weaverton.

With 2-0, Sao Paulo backed off their lines a little bit without the ball, but continued to attack when they took possession of it. At the age of thirty-five, after a Pablo Maya kick deflected from Murillo, São Paulo reached third place. With no remedy other than damage reduction, Palmeiras scored the first goal at 40, in a free kick from the side of the field. The ball hit Calleri before entering.

Palmeiras spent the last minutes pressing Tricolor, trying to reach the second goal, but Sao Paulo defended itself and held the score 3-1.

Vega takes a risk after playing well on the left

It was 9 minutes when Palmeiras was first exposed to great danger. Palmeiras played in a double, with Piquerez more likeable and Scarpa in the middle, and Palmeiras doubled in Sao Paulo’s defense. Beckers lunged sideways, picked it up again and got into dribbling along the side of the area. The low cross came just as Vega hit the left. Scraped ball based.

Sao Paulo responded with a great move from Igor Gomez

Palmeiras relied on an individual defense style on Rodrigo Nestor, the main man in the construction of São Paulo. Thus, it was up to Igor Gomez to be in charge of moving and leading São Paulo’s offensive plays.

One of the fans’ goals in recent matches, the 26 jersey did well in the first half and made the main move for Sao Paulo. In the 11th minute, Igor Gomez led into the middle and reversed, Trevilla, to Wellington. Cross side back, low, and Alison sent him off. The ball bounced off the crossbar before kicking off the goal.

He reaches Palmeiras with inverted balls

Palmeiras’ tactics, in addition to easy access, included game reversals. Almost without looking, Dodo and Rafael Vega, from the right, gave Bequierez two good long passes to catch them on the left and arrive with danger.

Controversial penalty kick puts Sao Paulo ahead

The match was already destined for a break when Alisson attempted a cross deflected the ball into Marcos Rocha. Immediately, Sao Paulo players complained about a handball from the palm player.

Referee Douglas Marques das Flores ordered the match to continue, but quickly told the players to wait to restart the match and switched to the VAR. Abel Ferreira followed closely, the man with the whistle checked the step and realized that Marcos Rocha’s swerve was a mistake.

In charge, Jonathan Calleri replaced Weverton and opened the scoring for São Paulo. The goal shook Morumbi so that he had one of the ballboys celebrate with somersaults.

Abel gets yellow and his assistant is called to protest for him

Abel Ferreira was restless throughout the first half. He pointed so much and complained to the referee that the referee whistled him in the 34th minute. And when the VAR called the referee in the 48th minute of the first half to check a possible penalty, the coach was the first to arrive to pressure the referee. Fearing a red card, Abel left the task of filing a complaint with the judge to assistant Vitor Castanheira.

Another kick from Pablo Maya inflating the net

Perhaps the main change in the Sao Paulo team throughout Paulistao, Pablo Maya proved decisive once again. He had already scored one of the goals of the 4-1 win over São Bernardo, in the quarter-finals, with a pass from Rodrigo Nestor and a strong finish from outside the area. Against Palmeiras, the recipe was repeated.

After the match was reversed by Igor Gomez, Rodrigo Nestor took control of the area on the right, turning his body and finding Pablo Maya completely empty. Against Sao Bernardo, the midfielder took a risk from afar. The ball veered on Murillo and left Weverton with no chance of avoiding the second goal in Sao Paulo.

performance of Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo benefited from the options Palmeiras made in the first half. Abel Ferreira’s tough defensive tactic meant the ball had more room at the feet of Leo and Diego Costa, in defense, and Igor Gomez, in midfield.

It was the same for most of the first half. From Diego Costa’s foot came a dangerous mistake for Sao Paulo, in the 40th minute. The defender broke Palmeiras’ lines with a long pass that Eder found. The attacker turned on Gustavo Gomez and was committed. In charge, Nestor kicked the bulkhead.

Defensively, Sao Paulo changed hands in the second half. Leading the scoreboard after Jonathan Calleri’s goal, Morumbi’s side began defending themselves in a line of five defenders – sometimes, as many as six. After two blocks of towers, Tricolor left Palmeiras with few options. Most of the time, Abel Ferreira’s team tried long shots, which were easily saved by the defense.

Even at the back, Sao Paulo took advantage of the opportunities presented to them. In side plays, Rogério Ceni’s side built the advantage with goals from Calleri and Pablo Maia.

Palmeiras performance

After a knockout by São Paulo’s size, Palmeiras had some good moments in the first half, with balls inverted for their wings. With Veiga and Dudu so distinguished, the team created little, and Marcos Rocha was the one to hold the ball at his feet for the longest.

In the second stage, lack of creativity continued to be the keyword for Palmeiras, who simply could not find a way to organize themselves and make a thoughtful, miserable move. The team abused the outstretched balls that hit the Sao Paulo defensive wall and created counterattacks. The team finds a small target missing from the side. A little bit football.
