São Paulo ratings: Sabino shaky, Ferreirinha and Lucca star, foreigners seal win | OneFootball

São Paulo did not put on a great performance, but did the basics to beat Juventude 2-1 on Sunday afternoon (23) in a rainy Vila Belmiro, for the 35th round of the Brasileirão. Center-back Sabino gave plenty of scares and was once again beaten by simple dribbles, but wingers Ferreirinha and Lucca, who each played one half on the left wing, 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:

Rafael – 5.75 – After 44 opening minutes barely touching the ball, he made a great save with his feet at the end of the first half. Worked more in the first five minutes of the 2nd half than before the break. A bit indecisive on some aerial balls at the end. Received a yellow card for complaining at the end and is suspended for the match against Fluminense.

Ferraresi – 5.5 – Had a good 1st half, with six defensive actions, two tackles, and six duels won out of eight contested. But misplaced some passes in the defensive half. Nearly scored a beautiful goal in the 2nd half, performing acrobatics to finish off Luciano’s touch. Scored a bizarre own goal with a header at the end.

Alan Franco – 5.75 – Recovered three important defensive balls in the first half at Vila. Had more work in the second half and cleared the danger well when needed.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Sabino – 4.5 – Already at 8 minutes received a yellow card for a foul, which suspends him for the next match. Was not as solid as his teammates and got nutmegged at the end, leading to a dangerous play. Continued poorly after the break, suffering more dribbles and awkwardly clearing the ball in the box.

Maik – 5.5 – Won the starting spot on the right wing. Showed a lot of energy at first, but made some passing errors. Was defensively solid.

Luiz Gustavo – 5.5 – Good start to the game, aggressive in midfield and getting forward to shoot. Was replaced by Negrucci in the 2nd half.

Bobadilla – 6.5 – Made a sliding tackle in midfield to win the ball, pushed forward and pounced on Luciano’s rebound to smash it into the net and open the scoring at Vila just 7 minutes in. Good match from the Paraguayan midfielder. Received a yellow card in the final minutes for a hard foul on the opponent.

Pablo Maia – 6.0 – Got a yellow card for a foul at 25’ in the first half. At the very end, made a miraculous goal-line clearance for São Paulo. Only misplaced one pass during the game and made important tackles. Substituted by Marcos Antonio in the 2nd half.

Ferreirinha – 6.5 – Made a good play cutting inside, with a beautiful pass to Luciano in the move that led to the first goal. Started very well, linking up with the forwards and tracking back to defend. Great first half at Vila. However, felt discomfort at the end and was replaced at halftime by Lucca.

Luciano – 5.75 – Nearly scored right away, but was stopped by a good save from the keeper. But saw Bobadilla score on the rebound. Shortly after, received another great ball from Ferreira, this time aiming for the top corner but missed. Good movement, but could have been more involved. In the second half, headed the ball after a cross, forcing a save from the goalkeeper. Tried, persisted, but did not score and was substituted at the end.
