São Paulo ratings: Tapia misses sitter, Dória secures away draw | OneFootball

São Paulo held O’Higgins to a 0-0 draw in Chile in the 4th round of the Copa Sudamericana. The team had some good chances, but the forwards did not have their shooting boots on, like Tapia, who missed a sitter and disappointed once again. However, Dória was Tricolor’s standout player, commanding the defense. See the ratings and evaluations:

Coronel – 6.0 – He was not troubled in the first half. In the opening seconds after halftime, he got lucky and saw the ball crash off the crossbar. Shortly after, he punched poorly into the middle of the box and once again watched the opponent hit the woodwork. He made a brilliant save in the 26th minute of the second half, parrying it out for a corner in a one-on-one situation.

Igor Felisberto – 5.0 – The young right-back from the academy finally made his professional debut, showed no nerves, and got forward a lot in the first half, but ended up making many basic mistakes. He failed to connect on the crosses he attempted and left plenty of space in defense, which is normal for a first game. He improved his defensive coverage in the second half.

Osório – 5.75 – Another one who came from Cotia to make his debut for Tricolor. He made a mistake playing out from the back in the 21st minute that annoyed Roger. But he had a solid first half, with four clearances and two ball recoveries. He remained steady in the second half, though he left an opening for a dangerous shot by González.

BEST ON THE TEAM: Dória – 6.5 – Tricolor’s captain started very well, with excellent defensive clearances. He had a great first half, covering Felisberto’s runs forward and blocking the opponent’s shots. The team’s standout, clearing everything at the back to secure the goalless draw.

Enzo Díaz – 5.5 – Returned to the starting lineup after an injury spell. He won some good defensive duels, but also misplaced a few passes in the first half without causing major problems. He improved after halftime, especially in supporting the attack, but left some gaps in defense.

Luan – 5.5 – Had a first half without much bite in midfield. He had more work to do in the second half, making some good clearances. He misplaced few passes and was replaced by Sabino in the closing minutes.

Djhordney – 6.0 – Got another chance from Roger in midfield. He received a yellow card for arriving late and fouling an opponent in the 25th minute. He was very good in the first half, completing all 22 of his passes, while also being strong in his marking. He kept up the good work after halftime, distributing play, and left the field without missing a single pass, making way for Danielzinho in the second half.

Cauly – 5.0 – Playing more on the right, he did not produce much in the first half, but worked very hard defensively. He put together a good move in the box with Ferreirinha early in the second half, but ended up slipping when it was time to shoot. With lots of movement and little end product, he was replaced by Negrucci near the end.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Tapia – 4.0 – He could not find his position in the first half. He did not shoot, did not cross, and also lost possession a few times for Tricolor. He missed a clear one-on-one chance early in the second half. He was finally taken off late on after yet another dreadful performance.

Ferreirinha – 5.5 – In the very opening seconds of the match, he burst through the middle and tried a shot, but sent it over the opponent’s goal. He started well, with some flashy plays down the wing. In the 28th minute, he had another good chance on the edge of the box, but blasted it way over again and cursed the pitch. He tried another long-range effort, and guess what, it was off target. Despite getting all his finishes wrong, he had a very lively first half in attack. He kept trying in the second half, but without much success and was replaced by Artur.

André Silva – 5.5 – In the opening 15 minutes, he made some good plays dropping out of the box and trying to set up his teammates. But he did very little in the first half, failing to get off a single shot. He only attempted his first in the 12th minute of the second half, with a very poor effort sent way high. In the next play, he made up for it with a beautiful trivela pass that left Tapia one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and he also missed. He improved a bit in the second half, but did not play well.

Danielzinho – 5.5 – Came on for the booked Djhordney midway through the second half. Did well in his midfield duels.

Artur – No rating – Replaced Ferreirinha in the 20th minute of the second half. Barely touched the ball.

Negrucci – No rating – Was called on by Roger near the end of the match to replace Cauly.

Lucca – No rating – Came on in the 34th minute of the second half for Tapia. Did not have time to do much.

Sabino – No rating – Replaced Luan late on to preserve the draw. Had enough time to pick up a yellow card for a foul.

Roger Machado – 5.5 – He fielded an entirely reserve side, thinking about the derby at the weekend. With the score still goalless, he sent on starters Danielzinho and Artur in the 20th minute of the second half. He then made changes to hold on to the draw and bring a point home.
