São Paulo ratings: Enzo Díaz blunders, Lucas disappoints in loss | OneFootball

São Paulo performed poorly against Bragantino on Saturday night (9) and was defeated 1-0 at Vila Belmiro, in the 33rd round of the Brasileirão. Lucas was quite absent and was substituted at halftime. In the 2nd half, Enzo Díaz committed a silly penalty that caused the defeat. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.0 – Hardly worked in the 1st half, only making a simple save in the middle of the goal. Was well out of position during the penalty kick.

Alan Franco – 5.5 – Returned to his spot in defense after serving a suspension. Scared and felt his thigh at the start, but stayed in the game and cleared the danger well on his side. Remained solid during the second half when the opponent attacked more. Was substituted at the end for Rigoni.

Arboleda – 5.5 – Recovered good balls in the 1st half. Played a secure match.

Sabino – 5.5 – Secure on the left side of the defense in the first half. Maintained a good level after the break and played another good match.

Maik – 5.0 – Returned to the starting lineup. Very eager at the start, but made mistakes in the final attacking decisions. Did not perform well in the 1st half but fulfilled his defensive role. Continued without distinction and was substituted by Crespo for Maílton at 18’ of the second half.

Luiz Gustavo – 5.0 – After a good game against Flamengo, remained in the team. Was responsible for the ball transition through the middle but faced strong marking and made some passing errors. Was replaced by Alisson in the second half.

Bobadilla – 5.0 – Finally made the opposing goalkeeper work with a long shot that deflected and almost went in. But also made many passing errors in the first half and left some gaps in marking.

Lucas – 4.5 – Started today playing as a central attacking midfielder. Made an easy passing error in the middle that led to an opponent's counterattack early in the game. Had a great chance at 21’, in front of the goal, but shot low and wide. Did not have a great first half and was substituted at halftime for Tapia.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Enzo Díaz – 4.0 – Another who returned after suspension. In marking, the usual lion. Failed to connect better with Ferreirinha in offensive plays. Crashed into Lucas Barbosa in the area in the second half, committed a silly penalty, and received a yellow card.

Ferreirinha – 5.5 – After a great performance, remained in the tricolor attack. Took a dangerous corner in the 1st half that almost surprised by going straight in. Was the one who most tried to break the marking, but lacked someone to help. One of the rare highlights of the initial stage. Performance dropped after the break.

Luciano – 5.0 – It was his the first tricolor shot, already at 16 minutes, but it went wide. Could not get the final pass right and was another who did not perform well in the initial stage. Was also absent in the 2nd half until he attempted a strong shot that went just wide of the post.

Tapia – 5.0 – Came on at halftime replacing the absent Lucas. Did not seem very engaged in the first minutes. At 31’, forced a good save from the opposing goalkeeper with a strong shot. Lots of effort, but did not change the offensive outlook.

Maílton – 5.0 – Replaced Maik in the second half. Delivered a good free kick to Alan Franco's head right away. Improved the right side of the attack a bit but did not achieve much.

Alisson – 5.0 – Came on for Luiz Gustavo at 18’ of the second half. Was good in ball distribution and made some tackles.

Rigoni – No rating – Came on at the end in place of Alan Franco in search of the equalizer and barely touched the ball.

Hernán Crespo – 5.0 – Already accustomed to absences, took the attacking trio against Braga. After a very weak first half, returned from the break with Tapia in place of Lucas. The change did not work out well. After conceding the goal, substituted Alan Franco to bring on attacker Rigoni, but ended up suffering another defeat.
