São Paulo played well and defeated Chapecoense last Thursday, in the debut of coach Roger Machado, at Canindé, and took the lead in the Brazilian Championship. Luciano, Calleri, and Marcos Antônio were the main highlights of the team.
The forwards were responsible for the two goals of the Tricolor. Meanwhile, the midfielder dictated the pace of the match and played a decisive role in both goals.
Besides the trio, four other players had a great performance: midfielders Danielzinho and Bobadilla, left-back Wendell, and defender Alan Franco. Goalkeeper Rafael also performed well when needed.
On the other hand, forward Lucas Moura was a bit more discreet.
The victory took São Paulo to the top of the Brasileirão standings alone. The Tricolor has 13 points, three above the second-placed Palmeiras, who were defeated by Vasco. The team, now led by Roger Machado, has four wins and one draw in five matches.
