Away from home, under-17s draw with Cruzeiro in the Brasileiro | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Tuesday (30), São Paulo drew 0-0 with Cruzeiro at Toca da Raposa 1, in Belo Horizonte (MG), in the sixth round of the Brazilian U-17 Championship.

The match started evenly, with both teams contesting possession and looking for spaces to build attacking plays. Well organized defensively, the team led by Alexandre Torrezan neutralized the opponent’s advances and, when it got forward, threatened Cruzeiro’s goal. Coach Menta did not lead the team as he is away due to medical issues.

The first big chance came in the 19th minute. After a good passing move between Zabarelli and Brenno, the ball fell to Kauã Edmar, who struck it first time, but the shot went very close to the post. Then, in the 35th minute, Zabarelli delivered a perfectly placed corner for Kauã Daniel, who rose well and headed the ball, but it went out over the end line.

In the second half, São Paulo came back better and began to control the match. In the sixth minute, after a rebound inside the box, Brenno tried a bicycle kick, but the shot went over the goal. In the 15th minute, defensive midfielder Caio made way for Gabriel. In his very first involvement, the midfielder got to the byline and shot, but the defense deflected the ball out for a corner.

Tricolor still created other chances throughout the second half, but could not turn its attacking pressure into a goal. As a result, the match ended in a goalless draw.
