In Salvador, São Paulo suffer setback against Vitória

On Saturday (11), São Paulo was defeated by Vitória 2-0 at Manoel Barradas, in Salvador (BA), in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. The goals were scored by Cacá and Ramon.

São Paulo started the match with an attacking approach and created the first chance just 2 minutes in: Enzo crossed into the box, Artur picked up the loose ball and shot, but the goalkeeper made the save. In the 16th minute, Marcos Antonio tried from outside the box, forcing the goalkeeper to stay alert and push it out for a corner. Despite the promising start, it was Vitória who opened the scoring in the 34th minute, through center back Cacá. The Tricolor’s best chance came in the 44th minute: Marcos Antonio played it through to Artur, who got past his marker and squared it to Cauly in the box, but the midfielder was unable to reach the ball and tap it into the net.

In the second half, São Paulo came back looking to take control of the game and put pressure on the opponent. Just 2 minutes in, Ferreira made a great individual play down the left, dribbled past three defenders and shot, but the ball took a deflection and went out for a corner. In the 8th minute, Lucas Ramon was sent off after stopping an attack. Even with a man advantage, Tricolor could not turn possession into goals. In the 37th minute, Ramon added another for the home side, and the score remained unchanged until the final whistle.

São Paulo returns to action next Tuesday (14) at 7:00 p.m., when the team will make its CONMEBOL Sudamericana debut at MorumBIS against O’Higgins-CHI. In the Brazilian Championship, the team plays again on Saturday (18) at 6:30 p.m. against Vasco at São Januário.
