São Paulo off to their best ever start in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Undefeated and leading the competition, São Paulo reached a historic milestone at the start of the Brazilian Championship by coming from behind to defeat Red Bull Bragantino last Sunday. With 16 points in six rounds, the team has recorded its best ever start in the competition, surpassing the campaigns of 1982 and 2011 in the same period.

In its first six matches of this edition of the tournament, São Paulo has achieved five wins and one draw, resulting in a success rate of 88.89%. In 2011, the team also managed five victories, but was defeated in the sixth match, matching the performance of 1982.

This campaign also places São Paulo among the best starts in the history of the points-based system. Tricolor matched the records set by Corinthians in the 2010 and 2017 editions, and by Palmeiras in 2019, who also reached the same points tally in this stretch of the Brazilian Championship.
