São Paulo ratings: Ferreirinha poor, Artur denied in shameful exit | OneFootball

São Paulo delivered a fairly subdued performance on Sunday night (31) in the Brasileirão finale before the World Cup and ended up conceding in the final minutes to lose 1-0 to Remo at Mangueirão stadium. In the first half, Artur missed a clear one-on-one chance, then saw the opposing keeper pull off a miracle save from a free kick. Ferreirinha wasted many attacking plays, and the dull second half, capped by a late goal, only made fans thankful for the break for the World Cup, so that Dorival Jr. can finally get the team to improve. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.0 – He only needed to punch the ball away from the box twice in the first half. He made a miracle save in the second half, but the play was offside. The one that counted went in at the end of the game.

Lucas Ramon – 6.0 – Nearly scored in the very first minute with a powerful shot saved by the goalkeeper. He did not misplace a single pass in the match, but did not support the attack that much. He was solid defensively.

Alan Franco – 6.0 – Made three clearances and recovered two balls in the first half, in addition to winning every aerial duel. He maintained a good level throughout the game, doing well to clear danger from São Paulo’s box.

Osorio – 5.5 – Also recovered important balls in the first half, but committed the foul that earned him a yellow card, and also played out badly once and nearly put the team in trouble in a move inside São Paulo’s box. He was more reliable in the second half.

Enzo Diaz – 5.5 – In the final play of the first half, he tried his luck from distance and forced a great save from Ivan. He was important defensively and misplaced few passes, but picked up a yellow card before the break. He had been having a decent game until he made a mistake late on and gave the ball away for the opponent’s goal.

Pablo Maia – 5.5 – He did not stand out much in the first half, with few passing errors. He had more defensive work to do in the second half and did well.

Danielzinho – 5.5 – A quiet first half from the midfielder, but with great passing accuracy. He continued to produce little and was replaced by Hugo late in the match.

André Silva – 5.0 – He moved around a lot in the first half and made some good passes, but did not stand out. He remained quiet in the second half and was replaced by Marcos Antonio in the 16th minute.

Artur – 5.5 – Went through one-on-one in the 20th minute, but could not get it past the goalkeeper. He struck a spectacular free kick late in the first half, but the keeper got there again. On a night without much sparkle, he could have given the team the win and was replaced by Tetê late on.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Ferreirinha – 4.5 – Made a good play early on to set up Lucas Ramón, who nearly scored. After that, he hardly appeared again in the first half. He got many plays wrong and lost possession several times in the second half. He had good attacking chances, but failed in every final decision until he was replaced by Lucca.

Calleri – 5.5 – Played a lovely ball to send Artur through one-on-one in the first half. Lots of fight and little football in the match. Went off late on for Tapia.

Marcos Antonio – 5.5 – In the 16th minute of the second half, he made his return to the pitch by coming on for André Silva. He misplaced only two passes, but still needs to regain his match rhythm.

Hugo – No rating – Replaced Danielzinho midway through the second half. Barely touched the ball.

Tetê – No rating – Came on for Artur in the second half and could not do much.

Lucca – 5.5 – Came off the bench to give Ferreirinha a rest late in the second half. He livened up the game and created some dangerous chances.

Tapia – No rating – Came on for the final minutes in place of Calleri.

Dorival Jr. – 4.5 – Repeated the lineup from the win over Boston River and went into halftime with a scoreless draw after missed chances. He brought Marcos Antonio back in the second half and made three more changes in search of the win, but it never came. His team still conceded the losing goal at the end, and he will have plenty of work to do during the break in the schedule.
