São Paulo beat Fortaleza 1-0 this Tuesday (23) at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia (SP), in the 18th round of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. Despite the win, Tricolor had already entered the match with no chance of qualifying for the next stage of the youth tournament.

The winning goal for Tricolor was scored by the talented right-back Angelo, who has already been transferred to Europe, but will only leave the club when he turns 18 at the end of the year.

Under heavy rain, Tricolor controlled most of the match. In the first half, Nicolas Kauan hit the crossbar with a good header, while Lucyan threatened from a free kick that went just wide of the opponent’s left post.

In the second half, São Paulo kept up the pressure on the opposition and was rewarded in the 21st minute. After a rebound from the goalkeeper, Angelo controlled the ball, dribbled past the defender, and finished with his right foot into the corner to secure the win for the Made In Cotia side.

Due to the heavy rain, the match was suspended for 30 minutes after Tricolor’s goal. When play resumed, the score remained unchanged. With the result, São Paulo reached 22 points in the competition, with no chance of reaching the top eight and qualifying for the quarterfinals.

The team coached by Júlio Baptista returns to the field on Sunday (28), at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), against São Caetano at Anacleto Campanella Stadium, this time for the Paulista Championship in the category.

Under-17 still winless

São Paulo’s under-17 team also took the field this Tuesday. In the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship for the category, Tricolor drew 0-0 with América-MG away from home.

With the result, the team reached four points and remains without a win after five rounds, with four draws and one defeat.
