King of America: São Paulo match Sul-Americana record v O’Higgins | OneFootball

Amid fan dissatisfaction with the team’s play and the pressure on coach Roger Machado, São Paulo made history by defeating Chile’s O’Higgins 2-0 on Tuesday (14) at Morumbi.

This was São Paulo’s 13th straight home win in the Copa Sudamericana, a streak that began with a 4-3 victory over Lanús in the 2020 edition.

This total puts Tricolor level with LDU for the longest streak in the tournament’s history — the Ecuadorian side put theirs together between 2009 and 2011.

Against Millonarios, on May 19 (Tuesday), São Paulo could break that record and take sole possession of the top spot in that statistic.

This is the third straight Copa Sudamericana edition in which São Paulo has started with two wins.

In 2022 and 2023, this happened during the period when the tournament already had a group stage — Tricolor still has not lost any of the fourteen matches it has played in that stage. Before that, it had only happened in 2003 and 2012.
