São Paulo ratings: Ferreirinha, Marcos Antonio star in Inter win | OneFootball

São Paulo was a different team after the thrashing they suffered in the last round of the Brasileirão and played a great match in the 3-0 victory over Internacional on Wednesday night (2), at Vila Belmiro. Ferreirinha and Marcos Antonio were the great conductors of the Tricolor, with beautiful plays and precise passes for the goals. Sabino, Maik, and Luciano found the net. Check out the ratings and evaluations of the Tricolor players:

Rafael – 6.5 – Didn't make any saves until the 13th minute of the 2nd half, when he deflected a great ball from a free kick by Internacional. Shortly after, two more great interventions on crossed shots. At 29’, he stretched out to send a strong shot to a corner. Worked a lot – and very well – in the second half.

Rafael Tolói – 6.0 – Was the starting defender on the right. Made good clearances and interceptions in the match. Solid performance.

Alan Franco – 6.0 – Was playing well, with aerial clearances, until he felt pain in his right thigh and had to be replaced by Arboleda just 30 minutes into the first half.

Sabino – 7.0 – Returned to the team after serving an automatic suspension. Took advantage of a mistake by the entire Inter defense, rose high, and scored with a header to open the scoring at Vila. In defense, won almost all contested balls. Also performed well in initiating plays in a great performance at Vila.

Maik – 7.0 – Was about to be caught out of position which would have resulted in a goal, but recovered beautifully to save almost on the line. Had a first half with personality and was rewarded with a goal at the end. Shot from outside the area and counted on a deflection to score. Also solid in defense.

Luiz Gustavo – 6.5 – As a defensive midfielder, did the dirty work very well and stole many balls in the middle. Made only one wrong pass throughout the match.

Bobadilla – 7.0 – Good initial movement, providing passing options to teammates, and a lot of fight in marking. Gave a perfect assist for Maik to score still in the 1st half. Received the third yellow card in the second half, which suspends him for the final round, and was replaced by Alisson at the end, ending his participation with the team for the season.

BEST ON THE FIELD: Marcos Antonio – 7.5 – Gave a beautiful pass to leave Luciano in front of the goal early on, and minutes later, found the number 10 with another good cross in the area, but the forward missed both chances. In the second half, found him again with a low pass for the 3rd goal. Another great match, dictating the team's pace, and marking firmly in the middle. Was replaced by Pablo Maia in the final minutes.

BEST ON THE FIELD: Ferreirinha – 7.5 – Was the man of the dangerous crosses at the start of the game, especially from set pieces. Until at 20 minutes, it paid off, with a great ball lofted for Sabino to score. Had an excellent first half, with dazzling dribbles and a lot of defensive dedication. In the second half, attempted a placed shot, which was stopped by a great save from the goalkeeper in the corner. Was substituted for Pedro Ferreira's debut at the end.

Luciano – 6.5 – Right in the first minute, received the ball in front of the goal, but headed very poorly, wide. Shortly after, another cross from Marcos Antonio that Luciano squandered. On the third attempt, he didn't miss. Already in the 2nd half, received from the number 20 and chipped to score. Made some good plays with Tapia. Attempted another shot, on the net, at 34’, felt pain and was replaced by Lucca.

Tapia – 5.5 – A lot of determination and fight, as always, but without much precision in decisive shots and passes. When the Tricolor needs to show their best technique, he ends up not keeping up with his teammates.

Arboleda – 6.5 – Returning from injury, had to enter still in the first half, replacing another injured player, now Alan Franco. Provided the usual security, clearing all dangerous balls in the area.

Alisson – 6.0 – Came on at 26’ of the second half, in place of Bobadilla. Had little contact with the ball, but was very active in the middle.

Lucca – No rating – Replaced Luciano at the end of the match.

Pablo Maia – No rating – Gave Marcos Antonio a rest in the final moments at Vila Belmiro.

Pedro Ferreira – No rating – Made his debut in the professional team, coming on for Ferreirinha at the end.

Hernán Crespo – 6.5 – Finally got some returns, especially in attack. But lost Alan Franco to injury early in the 1st half and had to put Arboleda on the field. But saw a beautiful performance from the team, which returned to winning ways.
