São Paulo ratings: Calleri scores again from Osório peach in draw | OneFootball

São Paulo struggled late on, almost lost in the final moments, but held on for a 1-1 draw with Flamengo on Sunday night (26), in the 20th round of the Brasileirão, in a match played at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Tricolor even had a good first half, but saw their rival dominate the second. With a beautiful ball from center-back Osório, Calleri dived brilliantly to head home the saving goal. See the ratings:

Rafael – 6.0 – He was called into action properly for the first time in the 10th minute, making a simple save from a weak angled shot. In the 43rd minute, he tipped away a tricky wide free-kick heading toward his goal. He made a spectacular save 10 minutes into the second half from Bruno Henrique’s header. Right after that, he was left helpless on Flamengo’s corner-kick goal.

Lucas Ramon – 5.5 – He had trouble playing out from the back in the opening minutes. He did well defensively in the first half, with ball recoveries and duels won. Going forward, he barely showed up during the match, but remained solid in defense.

Arboleda – 5.5 – He had a good first half defensively, with important clearances and interceptions. But he made some dangerous mistakes when building from the back. He maintained his level in the second half.

Osório – 6.0 – He stayed in the starting lineup at center-back with Tolói unavailable. He was solid in the first half, without any scares. He played like a full-back in the second half and delivered a perfectly weighted cross for Calleri to equalize.

Wendell – 6.0 – He got forward well to produce the team’s first shot, but sent it over the bar. He had a good first half, supporting the attack and looking secure in defense. He dropped off a bit in the second half and was shown a yellow card in the 23rd minute for a foul in midfield. He was substituted late on.

Pablo Maia – 5.5 – A decent first half, with few misplaced passes and strong marking through the middle. He had more defensive work in the second half, but handled it well.

Danielzinho – 5.5 – He earned a place in the team with Bobadilla absent. He won an important defensive ball to stop the opponent’s attack in the 5th minute. But he did not have a great first half, with little involvement in attack. He continued without much impact and was replaced by Victor Sá in the 20th minute of the second half.

Marcos Antônio – 5.5 – He did find the net in the 27th minute, but was offside. Once again playing on the left wing, his good football was limited and he failed to create dangerous plays down the flank in the first half. He misplaced few passes, but did not stand out.

Luciano – 4.5 – He tried a few one-two combinations early in the match, but without much success. Plenty of effort and fight for the ball, but he lacked more creativity in attack. He was replaced by André Silva in the final minutes.

Artur – 5.0 – Quiet at the start of the first half, he finally showed up in the 23rd minute by winning the ball high up the pitch and unleashing a powerful shot that shaved the post. But he was off his game and produced little else before being taken off in the second half.

BEST OF THE TEAM: Calleri – 7.0 – He brilliantly cushioned the ball with his chest for Wendell to arrive and hit a strong shot just 4 minutes in. He started the match with good movement. He had gone quiet in the second half until he showed a striker’s instinct. He met a good cross from the left and dived beautifully to equalize in the 24th minute. He scored again after the longest goal drought of his career.

Ferreirinha – No rating – He replaced Artur 20 minutes into the second half. He played poorly and lost the ball many times.

Victor Sá – No rating – He came on for Danielzinho in the 20th minute of the second half. He barely touched the ball.

André Silva – No rating – He came off the bench to replace Luciano in the final minutes at the Maracanã.

Sabino – No rating – He came on in stoppage time to help preserve the draw, replacing Wendell.

Dorival Jr. – 5.5 – He kept the same setup, making personnel changes out of necessity. After the team’s good first half, he saw them concede in the second and made changes on the wings in search of an equalizer, which came quickly. They almost paid the price again with a late goal, but benefited from an offside call by mere centimeters.
