As São Paulo boss, Crespo chases first league win over Santos | OneFootball

This Sunday, Hernán Crespo seeks his first victory over Santos while leading São Paulo in matches valid for the Brasileirão. During his first stint with the Tricolor, the coach faced the rival twice in the national competition, resulting in one draw and one loss.

The first encounter took place in June 2021, with Santos winning 2-0. Marinho and Gabriel Pirani scored the goals for Peixe on that occasion.

In the second match, in October of the same year, the teams drew 1-1 at Morumbi. Jonathan Calleri scored the goal for São Paulo from a penalty, while Carlos Sánchez scored for Santos.

The only victory Crespo has over Santos occurred in the 2021 Paulistão, when São Paulo thrashed the rival 4-0. The goals were scored by Gabriel Sara, Luan Peres (own goal), Pablo, and Danilo Neves.

Since his return, Crespo has accumulated nine victories, three draws, and four losses while leading the São Paulo team.

The Tricolor arrives motivated for the classic, after defeating Botafogo in the last round of the Brasileirão — a result that kept the team in the leading pack, with 35 points, occupying the seventh position.
