São Paulo U20 fight back after keeper howler, but Bahia snatch it late | OneFootball

São Paulo U-20 were beaten 3-2 by Bahia on Wednesday afternoon (6) at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia, in the 10th round of the Brazilian U-20 Championship.

Davi Pena and Léo scored for the São Paulo side, which responded well after conceding two goals in quick succession, one of them coming after a terrible mistake by goalkeeper Luciano (watch below). Tricolor equalized in the second half, but Bahia scored late on to seal the defeat of the Made in Cotia side.

With the result, Júlio Baptista’s team remain on ten points, well outside the top eight that qualifies for the next stage. Tricolor return to the field next Wednesday (13), again at CFA Laudo Natel, to face Cruzeiro at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 11th round of the Brazilian U-20 Championship.

Bahia opened the scoring in the 11th minute through Roger after a poor build-up by Tricolor, and doubled the lead in the 12th minute. This time, the mistake was even worse. Luciano took too long to decide what to do with the ball and gifted the visitors another goal. Watch:

Trailing on the scoreboard, Tricolor pushed forward and pulled one back in the 23rd minute of the first half. Lucyan struck a free kick into the wall, the ball fell to Davi Pena, who hit it hard and scored a great goal.

In the 36th minute, Lucyan made a great run down the right and backheeled it to Angelo, who crossed, and Davi Pena hit it powerfully, but into the side netting. In the 42nd minute, Hugo had a good headed chance, but the defense cleared it off the line.

In the second half, the São Paulo side leveled the match in the seventh minute. Renan played a pass to Léo, who struck it firmly to make it 2-2. In the 20th minute, Léo had another chance, but the Bahia goalkeeper made the save. Then, in the 31st minute of the second half, Bahia scored their third goal through a header by Caio Suassuna.

São Paulo: Luciano; Angelo, Isac, Hugo (Igão, 33' 2nd half) and Luiz Fernando; Matheus Ferreira (Kevem, 20' 2nd half), Bezerra (Renan, halftime) and Lucyan (Léo); Juan Potes, Ryan and Davi Pena. Head coach: Júlio Baptista
