Standout star leads Athletico Paranaense comeback | OneFootball

Leozinho equalised for Athletico Paranaense in the 46th minute and completed a second half brace to beat São Paulo 2-1. His goals flipped the game after the interval.

After the restart he hit the right post with a left-footed effort. Moments later he turned in from very close range to haul Furacão level (46.).

He then sent a left-footed strike from outside the box just too high (50.). Soon after he met Lucas Esquivel's cross following a corner and guided a right-footed finish into the bottom left (51.).

He posted a 9.7 rating and a two-goal haul, plus that early woodwork. He later departed with an injury (76.) for Athletico-PR, having tilted the contest away from the Tricolor Paulista.

Transitions and second phases suited him: a fast break produced his first threat, and space at a recycled corner opened the winner. Those movements kept Soberano's back line stretched and let Furacão control the key phases.

Furacão rise from fourth to third in the table. Soberano visit Flamengo next. Furacão host Internacional next.
