São Paulo hold the edge over Bragantino in knockout ties, see their record | OneFootball

São Paulo holds a historical advantage over Red Bull Bragantino in knockout matches. The teams will meet again this Sunday in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista at the Estádio Municipal Cícero De Souza Marques.

Despite being clubs from the same state, the teams have faced each other in only two knockout rounds throughout history — both won by Tricolor. The first encounter took place in the semifinals of the 1989 Campeonato Paulista and then in the quarterfinals of the 2012 State Championship.

In 1989, São Paulo overcame Bragantino in both games of the semifinal. In the first leg, they won 1-0 at Morumbi, with a goal from Ney Bala. In the return leg, the capital team triumphed again at Nabi Abi Chedid, winning 2-0 with goals from Mário Tilico and Raí.

In the 2012 Campeonato Paulista, Tricolor thrashed Bragantino 4-1 at Morumbi. Luís Fabiano (2), Fernandinho, and Osvaldo scored for São Paulo, while Júnior Lopes scored for the Bragança team.

São Paulo and the taboo in Bragança

Despite not having been defeated by Red Bull Bragantino in knockout confrontations, São Paulo is trying to end a long-standing taboo when playing in Bragança Paulista. Since March 2019, Tricolor has not been able to defeat the interior team as visitors.

During this period, nine matches were played in the city, with five victories for Red Bull Bragantino and four draws.

In the most recent match hosted by the Bragança team, during the 14th round of the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro, the teams drew 2-2. Guzmán Rodríguez and Andrés Hurtado scored for the hosts, while André Silva scored twice for São Paulo.

The last São Paulo victory in Bragança occurred on March 3, 2019, when Tricolor won 2-0 at Nabi Abi Chedid during the ninth round of the Campeonato Paulista. Arboleda and Pablo scored the goals.
