São Paulo defeated Bragantino 3-0 this Wednesday (8) at Bruno José Daniel Stadium, in Santo André, São Paulo, in the seventh round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship.

With the result, Tricolor finally earned its first win in the competition after five draws and one loss, reaching eight points and moving into 14th place. São Paulo’s goals were scored by Miranda, Brenno, and Kauã Daniel.

The first half was marked by the Made in Cotia side’s clear dominance in attack. In the 16th minute, number 10 Robert tried his luck from long range, from just outside the box, and forced the opposing goalkeeper into a good save, tipping the ball out for a corner. From the set piece, Davi Pena delivered a perfectly placed cross for Miranda, the son of the club idol, who rose above the defense and opened the scoring with a header.

São Paulo kept up the pressure and doubled the lead in the 27th minute. From another Davi Pena assist, this time from a free kick, the number 7 found striker Brenno, who powered home a header to score the second goal.

In the 34th minute, Zabarelli, another young star of the Tricolor side, won the ball back in the attacking half, drove toward the edge of the area, and fired a dangerous shot, but the opposing goalkeeper made the save and prevented São Paulo’s third goal in the ABC region.

In the second half, the Under-17 Tricolor maintained control of the match and got their third goal in the 19th minute. After winning back possession in the attacking half, the team found Robert, who again tried a long-range shot. The goalkeeper once more pushed it out for a corner, and from the set piece, Davi Pena swung the ball into the box. Aguilar got a touch with his head, and Kauã Daniel was there to finish it off, also with a header, and score the team’s third goal.

Tricolor’s pressure continued until the final whistle. In the 27th minute, João Bispo received the ball on the right wing and hit a powerful shot, but the Bragantino goalkeeper saved it and sent it out for another corner. So the score remained 3-0.

São Paulo will be back in action next Tuesday (14), when they face Vitória at 3 p.m. (Brasília time) at CT Manoel Barradas, in Salvador, Bahia, in the 8th round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship.
