Already qualified for the next stage of the Paulista Championship, São Paulo’s U-15 and U-17 teams took the field this Saturday (26) at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia, São Paulo. The U-15 side drew 1-1 with Monte Azul, with Juninho scoring, while the U-17 team lost 2-1 to Salto, with Artur Kapaz netting for Tricolor.

U-15

Coached by Vinícius dos Santos, the team dominated the first half and created good chances but could not break the deadlock. Three minutes into the second half, Monte Azul opened the scoring on a counterattack. Tricolor kept pushing for an equalizer and found the net in the 29th minute, when Luisinho set up Juninho, who drove to the edge of the box and finished to make it 1-1.

U-17

The match was evenly contested, with plenty of possession changes and chances for both sides. The score remained 0-0 in the first half. Five minutes into the second half, São Paulo took the lead from a rehearsed corner-kick play. Raphael França crossed and Artur Kapaz headed home. Salto equalized in the 12th minute and turned the game around in the 27th.

In the Paulista Championship, the next fixtures for both age groups have not yet been set. The U-17s, however, already know when they will return to the field: the team faces Grêmio in the final round of the Brazilian Championship next Wednesday (30) at 3 p.m. at Estádio Aírton Ferreira da Silva, in Eldorado do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul.
