São Paulo ratings: Naive Osorio sees red, Dorival pays for reserves | OneFootball

Dorival Jr. fielded a completely backup side in the derby against Palmeiras and paid a heavy price on Saturday night (12), losing 2-0 in the 27th round of the Brasileirão. Young center-back Osório made a rookie mistake and went in far too hard on an opponent, was sent off, and ended Tricolor’s chances. See the ratings and evaluations:

Coronel – 5.5 – Even the backup goalkeeper got a chance in the derby. He managed to hold the ball too long near the end of the first half and conceded a corner to the opponent. After the set piece, he made a good save to tip away a long-range shot. In the first minute of the second half, he had to parry another one. He had no chance on the second goal conceded. He came out very well at Vitor Roque’s feet to prevent another in the 13th minute.

Newton – 5.5 – Playing as the right center-back, he wasn’t bad in the first half, making clearances and a few ball recoveries. His performance dropped in the second half, like the whole team.

Rafael Tolói – 6.0 – Returned to the defense after a long spell without playing and captained Tricolor. He did well in defensive duels in the first half and also cut out dangerous balls in the box. He did what he could in the second half, working overtime in defense.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Osório – 3.0 – Went in far too hard with a slide tackle on Piquerez and was initially shown a yellow card. After a VAR review, he was rightly sent off. He had been putting in an average performance, with two clearances and one ball recovery, but ruined his display in the derby.

Victor Sá – 5.0 – Playing as a right wing-back, he had a poor game, offering very little going forward, but he did win a few duels in defense.

Pablo Maia – 4.0 – Committed four fouls in just 11 minutes and was booked, which rules him out of Tricolor’s next league match. He tried a long-range shot from an attacking rebound, but the ball was deflected wide. He misplaced the pass that led to the opponent’s second goal, in another poor outing from the midfielder.

Djhordney – 5.5 – Actually had a good first half, with very few passing mistakes. Important and solid defensively, with four ball recoveries and two clearances, until he was replaced in the second half by Danielzinho.

Cauly – 4.5 – Invisible in the first half, he took an awful free kick in the 25th minute, neither shooting nor crossing. He finally created danger with a driven shot in the 37th minute. He failed to complete a single cross and had another poor game. He was taken off at halftime for Arboleda.

Wendell – 5.5 – He wasn’t bad in the first half, but he needed to offer more support in attack. He showed up well going forward early in the second half and aimed one into the corner, forcing a save from the goalkeeper. However, he was offside. He was replaced by Iago late on.

Ferreirinha – 6.0 – Moved well in attack early on, leading a few counterattacks and winning duels. He remained the team’s best attacking player in the second half, creating dangerous moments. On his own, though, he couldn’t make the difference and was taken off late.

André Silva – 4.5 – Started alert and tried a shot from outside the box just five minutes in, but it went wide. After that, he began to misplace some passes in attack. He faded out of the match and was replaced by Artur in the second half.

Arboleda – 5.0 – Came on right after halftime in place of Cauly. He was caught out defensively on the second goal conceded. He made a few clearances, but didn’t come on well.

Iago – 5.5 – Replaced Wendell in the 18th minute of the second half. He was very solid defensively and misplaced few passes.

Danielzinho – 5.0 – Came on for Djhordney midway through the second half. He was unable to change the course of the derby.

Artur – 5.0 – The winger came on for the quiet André Silva in the 18th minute of the second half. He failed to complete any dribbles and was barely involved.

Tete – No rating – Came off the bench to replace Ferreirinha in the 30th minute of the second half.

Dorival Júnior – 4.0 – He lined up a completely backup team and started with high pressure on the opponent. However, Osório was sent off and the team conceded soon after. He came back for the second half with Arboleda replacing Cauly. After conceding the second, he sent on three starters, but it was already too late. He paid the price for going into a derby without a single starter.
