São Paulo’s season so far

Still under the command of Luis Zubeldía, the Tricolor was knocked out in the semifinal of the Campeonato Paulista by Palmeiras, losing 1-0 thanks to a penalty goal by Raphael Veiga after a questionable foul by Arboleda on Vitor Roque inside the box.

In the Copa do Brasil, São Paulo was eliminated by Athletico-PR in the quarterfinals. The Tricolor won the first leg at Morumbis by 2-1, but had a player sent off in the fourth minute of the return match, lost 1-0, and missed all their penalty kicks.

The most recent setback was in the Libertadores. With the second-best campaign in the group stage, behind only Palmeiras, São Paulo excited its fans but struggled against LDU, losing both away in Ecuador by 2-0 and at home at Morumbis by 1-0.

In the Brazilian Championship, São Paulo has shown a more consistent performance, staying among the top teams since the arrival of coach Hernán Crespo, who was hired to save the team from the risk of relegation. Now, the goal for the final stretch of the year is to secure a spot in the next Libertadores.

Next match

São Paulo’s next match will be against Grêmio, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls this Thursday at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre (RS).
