U-15

The first match began as a tightly contested affair, with strong aerial duels in the opening stages. Head coach Vinicius dos Santos opted for a more physical lineup in the first half to compete for every ball, since the pitch made aerial play the main attacking option.

The team tried to make the most of high balls, but also realized there was room to keep the ball on the ground and build up plays, and the strategy worked. Thanks to the team’s quality, in the 14th minute, after a nice one-two, Yahgo got a shot away, the goalkeeper saved it, but Kléber was there on the rebound to open the scoring. Still in the first half, the team created more chances but was unable to extend the lead.

In the second half, the rain eased and, in the seventh minute, São Paulo goalkeeper Rafael Cestari made a great save. In the 14th minute, the opponents equalized, but in the 18th minute, Victor Israel restored São Paulo’s lead and secured the win.

U-15: Rafael Cestari; Pedro Leão, Kaue Marcos, Gabryell and Felipe; Pietro, Guilherme, Diego (Yago, 28/2); Kléber (Juninho, 8/2), Yahgo (Lucas Antunes, 22/2) and Victor Israel (Luan, 28/2). Head coach: Vinicius dos Santos

In the day’s second match, the rain returned even harder, but Menta’s side did not lose heart and pushed for the result despite the heavy pitch. In the 16th minute, the ball fell to Zabarelli, who opened the scoring with a brilliant first-time volley into the top corner. The match changed in the 29th minute, when striker Brenno was sent off, and the team had to play with one man fewer.

In the second half, the São Paulo side did not take long to extend the lead. Six minutes in, the opposing midfielder was also sent off, making it 10v10. From the resulting set piece, Luan sent the ball into the box, the opposing defense got a touch, and it fell to Kauã Daniel, who calmly slotted past the goalkeeper to score. In the 21st minute, Robert played a good through ball to Caio, who simply squared it for Nicolas Francisco to make it 3-0.

In the 31st minute, Kauã Edmar shot, the goalkeeper got a touch and sent it out for a corner. From the corner, the ball once again fell to Kauã Daniel, who took advantage once more and struck a beautiful volley to seal the rout.
