São Paulo blow 3-goal lead, lose Paulista U20 final on penalties | OneFootball

The wait for São Paulo in the youth division will continue.

On the afternoon of this Sunday (16), playing in Mogi das Cruzes (SP), after drawing 1-1 at Vila Belmiro in the first leg, the Tricolor’s under-20 team managed to open up a 3-0 lead on the scoreboard, but conceded the tie and ended up being defeated by Santos in the penalty shootout.

Lucca (twice) and Igor Felisberto scored the goals for São Paulo in the first half. But in the second half, the rival fought back to tie, with goals from João Ananias (twice) and Bernardo.

In the penalties, the coastal team came out on top by 4 to 3 and took the title.

The last time São Paulo won the Campeonato Paulista under-20 was in 2015.

In the end, the heated atmosphere led to confusion, with former club player and now at Santos, Enzo Boer, provoking São Paulo fans and causing a commotion, which only didn’t end in a brawl thanks to those who stepped in to calm things down.
