São Paulo defeated Bragantino 3-0 this Wednesday (8) at Bruno José Daniel Stadium in Santo André, São Paulo state, in the seventh round of the Brazilian U-17 Championship.

With the result, Tricolor finally earned its first win of the competition after five draws and one defeat, reaching eight points and moving into 14th place. São Paulo’s goals were scored by Miranda, Brenno, and Kauã Daniel.

The first half was marked by complete domination from the Made in Cotia side in attack. In the 16th minute, number 10 Robert tried his luck from long range, from an advanced midfield position, and forced the opposing goalkeeper into a good save, pushing the ball out for a corner. From the set piece, Davi Pena delivered a perfect ball for Miranda, the son of the club idol, who rose above the defense and opened the scoring with a header.

São Paulo kept up the pressure and doubled the lead in the 27th minute. From another assist by Davi Pena, this time from a free kick, number 7 found prolific striker Brenno, who powered home a header to score the second goal.

In the 34th minute, Zabarelli, another young star of the Tricolor side, won the ball back in the attacking half, drove toward the edge of the box, and fired a dangerous shot, but the opposing goalkeeper made the save and denied São Paulo a third goal in the ABC region.

In the second half, the U-17 Tricolor maintained control of the match and got their third goal in the 19th minute. After regaining possession in the attacking half, the team found Robert, who once again went for a long-range shot. The goalkeeper pushed it out for another corner, and from the delivery, Davi Pena floated the ball into the box. Aguilar got a touch with his head, and Kauã Daniel arrived to finish it off, also with a header, and score the team’s third goal.

Tricolor’s pressure continued until the final whistle. In the 27th minute, João Bispo received the ball on the right wing and hit a powerful shot, but the Bragantino goalkeeper made the save and sent it out for another corner. That left the score at 3-0.

São Paulo return to action next Tuesday (14), when they will face Vitória at 3 p.m. (Brasília time) at CT Manoel Barradas in Salvador, Bahia state, in the 8th round of the Brazilian U-17 Championship.
