In Salvador, São Paulo suffer setback against Vitória

This Saturday (11), São Paulo was beaten 2-0 by Vitória at Manoel Barradas, in Salvador (BA), in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. The goals were scored by Cacá and Ramon.

São Paulo started the match with an attacking approach and created the first chance just two minutes in: Enzo crossed into the box, Artur picked up the loose ball and shot, but the goalkeeper made the save. In the 16th minute, Marcos Antonio tried his luck from outside the box, forcing the goalkeeper to stay alert and parry it out for a corner. Despite the promising start, it was Vitória who opened the scoring in the 34th minute through center-back Cacá. Tricolor’s best chance came in the 44th minute: Marcos Antonio played a pass to Artur, who got past his marker and squared it for Cauly in the box, but the midfielder could not reach the ball and tap it into the net.

In the second half, São Paulo came back looking to take control of the game and put pressure on the opposition. Just two minutes in, Ferreira made a good individual play down the left, dribbled past three defenders and shot, but the ball took a deflection and went out for a corner. In the 8th minute, Lucas Ramon was sent off after stopping an attack. Even with an extra man, Tricolor could not turn possession into goals. In the 37th minute, Ramon doubled the lead for the home side, and the score remained unchanged until the final whistle.

São Paulo returns to the field next Tuesday (14), at 7 p.m., when it will make its CONMEBOL Sudamericana debut at MorumBIS against O’Higgins-CHI. In the Brazilian Championship, the team plays again on Saturday (18), at 6:30 p.m., against Vasco at São Januário.
