São Paulo ratings: Ferreirinha poor, Artur denied in shameful exit | OneFootball

São Paulo put in a very subdued performance on Sunday night (31) in the Brasileirão finale before the World Cup and ended up conceding in the closing minutes to lose 1-0 to Remo at Mangueirão stadium. In the first half, Artur missed a clear one-on-one chance, then saw the opposing keeper pull off a miracle save from a free kick. Ferreirinha wasted many attacking moves, and the flat second half, capped by a late goal, only made the fans thankful for the break for the World Cup, so that Dorival Jr. can finally get the team to improve. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.0 – He only needed to punch the ball clear from the box twice in the first half. He made a miracle save in the 2nd half, but the play was offside. The one that counted went in at the end of the game.

Lucas Ramon – 6.0 – He nearly scored in the very first minute with a powerful shot saved by the goalkeeper. He did not misplace a single pass in the match, but did not support the attack that much. He was solid defensively.

Alan Franco – 6.0 – He made three clearances and recovered two balls in the first half, in addition to winning every aerial duel. He maintained that good level throughout the game, doing well to clear danger from São Paulo’s box.

Osorio – 5.5 – He also recovered important balls in the first half, but committed a foul that earned him a yellow card, and also played it out poorly and nearly put the team in trouble on a play inside São Paulo’s box. He was safer in the 2nd half.

Enzo Diaz – 5.5 – On the last play of the first half, he tried from long range and forced a great save from Ivan. He was important defensively and misplaced few passes, but picked up a yellow card before halftime. He had been having a decent game until he made a mistake late on and gifted the ball for the opponent’s goal.

Pablo Maia – 5.5 – He did not stand out much in the 1st half, with few misplaced passes. He had more work to do defensively in the second half and did well.

Danielzinho – 5.5 – A quiet first half from the midfielder, but with great passing accuracy. He continued to produce little and was replaced by Hugo late in the match.

André Silva – 5.0 – He moved around a lot in the first half and made some good passes, but did not stand out. He remained anonymous in the 2nd half and was replaced by Marcos Antonio in the 16th minute.

Artur – 5.5 – He went one-on-one with the goalkeeper in the 20th minute but could not beat him. He struck a spectacular free kick at the end of the 1st half, but the keeper pulled off another save. On a night without much sparkle, he could have given the team the win and was replaced by Tetê late on.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Ferreirinha – 4.5 – He made a good play early on by setting up Lucas Ramón, who almost scored. After that, he barely showed up again in the first half. He got many plays wrong and lost possession several times in the second half. He had good attacking opportunities, but failed in every final decision until he was replaced by Lucca.

Calleri – 5.5 – He played a lovely pass to put Artur through one-on-one in the 1st half. Plenty of fight and little football in this match. He came off late for Tapia.

Marcos Antonio – 5.5 – In the 16th minute of the second half, he made his return to the pitch, coming on for André Silva. He only misplaced two passes, but still needs to regain match rhythm.

Hugo – No rating – He replaced Danielzinho midway through the second half. He barely touched the ball.

Tetê – No rating – He came on for Artur in the second half and could not do much.

Lucca – 5.5 – He came off the bench to give Ferreirinha a rest late in the 2nd half. He added some spark to the game and created a few dangerous moves.

Tapia – No rating – He came on for the final minutes in place of Calleri.

Dorival Jr. – 4.5 – He kept the same lineup from the win over Boston River and went into halftime with a scoreless draw after missed chances. He brought Marcos Antonio back in the 2nd half and made three more changes in search of the win, which never came. The team still conceded the losing goal at the end, and he will have plenty of work to do during the break in the schedule.
