On the morning of this Saturday (13th), São Paulo's youth teams secured two victories at the CFA Laudo Natel in Cotia. First, the under-15 team thrashed Barretos 5-1, with goals from Nicolas Francisco (2), João Lucas (2), and Nycollas Myguel. Then, the under-17 team defeated Real Soccer 2-0, with two goals from João Costa.

With the offensive playing style of coach Vinicius dos Santos, the under-15 team opened the scoring early. At three minutes, Erick received a cross, entered the area, and passed to Nicolas Francisco, who just pushed the ball into the net. At 21 minutes, the opponent equalized, and at 29, João Lucas lobbed the goalkeeper and put Tricolor ahead, closing the first half.

In the second half, the goal also came early. At five minutes, Erick took the corner, and Nycollas Myguel appeared in the area to extend the lead with a header. At 15 minutes, João Lucas took a penalty, scored his second of the match, and the fourth for Tricolor. And to seal the rout, at 31 minutes, after a scramble in the area, Nicolas Francisco struck a beautiful shot.

The youth team returns to the field for the Paulista Championship next Saturday (20th), when they host Mirassol at 9 a.m. (Brasília time), at the CFA Laudo Natel in Cotia.

The under-17 team controlled the match from the first minute. At 15 minutes, they were rewarded for the first time: Leo hit the post, and on the rebound, striker João Costa took advantage to open the scoring. At 35 minutes, João Bispo passed through the defense and set up João Costa to score his second.

In the second half, São Paulo couldn't create many scoring chances and held onto the lead.

The next match for the under-17 team will be a Majestic, the classic against rivals Corinthians, for the Paulista Championship. The match is scheduled for next Saturday (20th), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), also in Cotia.
