Tapia and Luciano break their duck, emerge as São Paulo’s likely strike duo | OneFootball

Coach Hernán Crespo has discovered a new combination of players to form São Paulo's attack. Gonzalo Tapia and Luciano have broken their scoring drought, netting goals in the last two games, and they might continue as a duo for the final stretch of the season.

Luciano and Tapia played together for the first time in the derby against Palmeiras, and it was precisely them who found the back of the net for São Paulo, which took a 2-0 lead in the first half but ended up suffering a comeback in the second half.

Apparently, the duo has chemistry, and with time to be developed, they could yield even more results for São Paulo, whose main goal in this last semester is to secure qualification for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores.

São Paulo has had 11 days to rest its players and work with more time before the resumption of Brazilian football. Next Thursday, the Tricolor will visit Grêmio in Porto Alegre, with the mission of showing that this kind of mid-season break due to the FIFA date has had an effect.

With the defeat to Palmeiras in the derby, São Paulo lost the seventh position in the Brazilian Championship to Fluminense and now sits in eighth place on the table. Therefore, the upcoming matches should be treated as true finals so that the Tricolor does not fall out of the race for the G6.
