Nicolas returns after accident, scores in São Paulo Under-20 win | OneFootball

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

Nicolas’ return

The goals in the Tricolor victory were scored by Isac and Nicolas, two familiar faces for 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 ran over an 84-year-old man, who later died.

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

Tetê also shone

In a match played in intense heat, Tricolor built its victory 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 crossed for Isac to head home and open the scoring. In the 27th minute, again after a corner, Nicolas pounced on a loose ball inside the box to make it 2-0.

In the second half, São Paulo continued to create good chances against Paulinense, but the score did not change again and remained 2-0.

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

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.
