São Paulo defeated Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday night by 2-1, coming from behind, at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium. Striker Calleri, who scored the winning goal in the match valid for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship, celebrated the Tricolor’s performance and pointed out that Roger Machado’s team was not used to “coming from behind in games.”
“Very happy for the win, for the way we won. We played against a great team, with a great coach. In the first half, they were much more dominant than us, they played in a way that was very complicated for us. In the second half, the coach [Roger Machado] pointed out some things in the locker room and we managed to turn it around,” said the striker, in an interview with Premiere.
After falling behind on the scoreboard, with a goal by Herrera in the first half, São Paulo dominated the second half. Sabino and Calleri scored, and the Tricolor left Bragança with all three points.
“I wanted to score a header today, Lucas (Ramon) made a great cross and, luckily, I was able to score. I’m going home very happy. Because we came back in a game that we normally wouldn’t have. I’m very happy,” the striker continued.
In addition to celebrating the victory, Calleri also emphasized São Paulo’s performance in the first six rounds. At the start of this Brasileirão, the Tricolor is unbeaten, with five wins and one draw.
“We’re going home happy, because it’s been a long time since we had 16 out of 18 points after six rounds. So, congratulations to everyone, congratulations to the fans who came here. We’re leaders this round, we have two more games before the FIFA break and we’ll fight to keep first place,” he concluded.
With the win, São Paulo finished the sixth round leading the Brazilian Championship. Roger Machado’s team has 16 points, three more than Palmeiras and Fluminense, who are in second and third place, respectively.
