Crespo's São Paulo match 25-year derby record with defeat | OneFootball

A seesaw. That's how this second stint of Hernán Crespo as the coach of São Paulo can be defined.

We are not only referring to the performance on the field, which is excessively inconsistent, but also highlighting a somewhat bizarre condition of the current team: breaking disparate historical records, whether positive or negative.

And the classic match against Palmeiras on Sunday (5) adds to another list of marks for the Argentine coach and the current squad.

In total, São Paulo has conceded three or more goals at Morumbi 114 times in history, with thirteen wins, 17 draws, and 84 losses.

This hadn't happened since June, when the team lost to Vasco 3-1, but the last time they lost at home after taking a two-goal lead was in February 2000, in a 5-2 defeat to Flamengo in the Rio-São Paulo Tournament.

Moreover, counting the result against the green rival, Tricolor has lost five of its last six games, a sequence that hadn't occurred since eight consecutive defeats in 2013.

The only other similar series occurred in 1936 (six defeats), 1937 (one win and six defeats), 1941 (one win and five defeats), 1951 (one draw and five defeats), 1953 (five defeats), 1964 (one draw and six defeats), 1969 (one win and five defeats), 1992 (five defeats), 1998 (twice, both with five defeats), and 2002 (one win and six defeats).
