São Paulo aim to extend unbeaten league run after cup exit

After the fall in the semifinals of the Paulista Championship with a 2-1 defeat to Palmeiras, São Paulo seeks a response in the continuation of the Brasileirão. With three wins and one draw, the Tricolor has not yet lost in the national competition and wants to continue with good results to overcome the elimination in the State Championship.

In the last round before turning their attention to the decisive Choque-Rei, São Paulo visited Coritiba with a mixed team, aiming to rest their main players. Even so, they left Couto Pereira with a 1-0 victory. This result secured the runner-up position for Hernán Crespo's team.

Previously, in the third round of the Brazilian Championship, they hosted Grêmio at Morumbi and secured another victory. On that occasion, Lucas and Calleri scored the goals that confirmed the triumph.

The only draw for São Paulo in the national competition happened in the classic against Santos, in the second round. During the visit to Vila Belmiro, the Tricolor fell behind on the scoreboard, but Calleri scored once again in the season to avoid defeat.

In the debut, experiencing a delicate moment with off-field issues, they faced Flamengo. The triumph over the Cariocas was the starting point for São Paulo's reaction in 2026. Since then, they have started performing in the Paulista Championship and managed to ward off the crisis.
