Nicolas returns after accident, scores in São Paulo U20 win | OneFootball

São Paulo beat Paulinense 2-0 this Thursday (20) at Estádio Prefeito José Liberatti, in Osasco (SP), in the Paulista Under-20 Championship. With the result, the Made In Cotia side reached 27 points in the state competition.

Nicolas returns

The goals in the Tricolor win were scored by Isac and Nicolas, two familiar faces to the fans. Both train with the senior squad at Barra Funda, and the full-back played his first match after being involved in a car accident in which he struck an 84-year-old man, who later died.

The case is still moving through the courts, but the São Paulo player is free while awaiting trial, under a series of conditions and restrictions. Nicolas’ defense team is optimistic about a positive outcome in the case.

Tetê also shined

In a match played in intense heat, Tricolor built its win from Tetê’s corner kicks, another player who was also sent down on loan to the under-20 side. In the 14th minute, the No. 10 delivered a cross onto Isac’s head, and he opened the scoring. In the 27th minute, again after a corner, Nicolas took advantage of a loose ball in the box to double the lead.

In the second half, São Paulo continued creating good chances against Paulinense, but the score did not change again, and it ended 2-0.

The next match for Tricolor’s under-20 team in the state championship is scheduled only for September 4, against Desportivo Brasil, at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), in Porto Feliz (SP).

Under-20: João Pedro; Angelo (Igor Felisberto, 17/2), Isac, Igão (Alisson, 39/2) and Nicolas (Luiz Fernando, 30/2); Bezerra, Matheus Ferreira (Kevem, 17/2), Lucyan (Davi Pena, 17/2) and Renan; Tetê (Nicolas Kauan, 39/2) and João Costa (Gustavo Miranda, 30/2). Coach: Júlio Baptista.
