São Paulo defeated Chapecoense last Thursday, in the debut of coach Roger Machado, at Canindé, and took the lead in the Brazilian Championship. With this, the tricolor team returned to the top of the competition's table after almost four years.
The last time São Paulo occupied the top of Serie A was in April 2022. On that occasion, the team then led by Rogério Ceni debuted in the Brasileirão with a 4-0 victory over Athletico-PR.
However, that Tricolor campaign did not end as it started. The team finished the tournament only in ninth place, with 54 points earned.
This time, São Paulo leads the competition with 13 points earned in five matches – four wins and one draw. They have a three-point advantage over second-placed Palmeiras.
The tricolor team also remains one of the three undefeated in the Brasileirão. Besides the Morumbi club, only Mirassol and Bahia have not yet lost in the tournament in 2026.
