São Paulo ratings: Ferreirinha, Lucca shine, foreigners seal win | OneFootball

São Paulo did not put on a great performance, but did the basics to beat Juventude 2-1 this Sunday afternoon (23) in a rainy Vila Belmiro, for the 35th round of the Brasileirão. Defender Sabino gave quite a few scares and was once again beaten by simple dribbles, but wingers Ferreirinha and Lucca, who each played a half on the left flank, made the difference, and midfielder Bobadilla was decisive by opening the scoring. In the final minutes, Rigoni extended the lead and Ferraresi scored an own goal. See the ratings and evaluations:
