São Paulo ratings: naive Osorio sees red, Dorival pays the price | OneFootball

Dorival Jr. fielded a completely backup team 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 reckless challenge on the opponent, was sent off, and ended the 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 late in the first half and conceded a corner to the opponent. After the set piece, he made a good save, tipping away a long-range shot. In the first minute of the second half, he already had to palm away another one. He had no chance on the second goal conceded. He came off his line very well at Vitor Roque’s feet to prevent another in the 13th minute.

Newton – 5.5 – Playing as the right-sided center-back, he did not do badly in the first half, with clearances and some ball recoveries. He dropped off in the second half, like the whole team.

Rafael Tolói – 6.0 – Returned to the back line after a long spell without playing and captained the Tricolor. He did well in defensive duels in the first half and also cleared 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 sliding tackle on Piquerez and was initially shown a yellow card. After a VAR review, he was rightly sent off. He had been having an average game, with two clearances and one ball recovery, but ruined his performance in the derby.

Victor Sá – 5.0 – Playing as a right wing-back, he had a poor game, offering very little going forward, though he did win some duels while defending.

Pablo Maia – 4.0 – Committed four fouls in just 11 minutes and received a yellow card, ruling him out of Tricolor’s next Brasileirão 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 performance from the midfielder.

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

Cauly – 4.5 – Anonymous in the first half, he took an awful free kick in the 25th minute, neither shooting nor crossing. He finally created something dangerous with a driven shot in the 37th minute. He did not complete a single cross and had another poor game. He was taken off at halftime for Arboleda.

Wendell – 5.5 – He was not bad in the first half, but he lacked more support in attack. He showed up well going forward early in the second half and aimed for the corner, only for the keeper to save it. However, he was offside. He was replaced by Iago late on.

Ferreirinha – 6.0 – Moved well in attack early on, leading some counterattacks and winning duels for the ball. He remained the best attacking player in the second half, creating dangerous moments. On his own, though, he could not make the difference and was taken off late in the game.

André Silva – 4.5 – Started sharply and tried a shot from outside the box as early as the 5th minute, but it went wide. After that, he began misplacing some passes in attack. He faded from the game and was replaced by Artur in the second half.

Arboleda – 5.0 – Came on right after halftime in place of Cauly. He was out of position defensively on the second goal conceded. He made some clearances, but did not come on well.

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

Danielzinho – 5.0 – Came on for Djhordney midway through the second half. He could not change the course of the derby.

Artur – 5.0 – The winger came on for the ineffective André Silva in the 18th minute of the second half. He did not complete his 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 picked a completely backup lineup and started with high pressure on the opponent. However, Osorio 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 brought on three starters, but it was far too late. He paid the price for going into a derby without a single starter.
